DEDHAM, Mass. (WBZ NewsRadio) — The Military Friends Foundation will host its annual Massachusetts Run for the Fallen on Saturday, Sept. 13.

While the 5K starts at 11 a.m., supporters can attend the honorary name reading for the fallen heroes at 9:30 a.m. and stay for the free BBQ, music, and family-friendly activities.
Costs for the event range from $15 to $35, depending on the participant. All proceeds go to the Military Friends Foundation. The organization provides support programs for families of the fallen and military families in the Bay State.
