The MFi Angel Run 5K is back for the 18th year!
Visit us and celebrate the opening of registration at Discover Medfield Day on Saturday, September 23rd from 10:00am-4:00pm
Medfield Foundation’s Angel Run booth #99 (in front of Montrose School)
This year’s Discover Medfield Day theme is “Fall in love with Medfield” and we can’t wait to show you how! Learn about the Angel Run and the many other MFi initiatives like Hinkley Helpers, Rail Trail, Grist Mill and Sustainable Medfield! Come meet our wonderful volunteers, play a game, make a craft and vote on your favorite Angel Run shirt color!
MFi Angel Run is a USATF certified 5K run (or walk) that will take place Sunday, December 3rd at 12:30pm. Early Bird Registration opens on September 23rd. Registrations made by Sunday, November 5th, 2023 are $30.00 per person and will include a 2023 Angel Run shirt.
The Angel Run is a high quality 5K community “fun” raiser and family event. It brings members of our community together during a festive time of year to generate funds in support of Medfield families in need. In 2006, family and friends created the run in remembrance of Natasha Domeshek. The Medfield Foundation Inc. (MFi) took up the holiday tradition in 2012. Since then, the proceeds support town residents in need through the MFi Community Assistance Fund.
About The Medfield Foundation
The Medfield Foundation (MFi) is a 100% volunteer-run 501(c)(3) non-profit charitable corporation whose mission is to build community by supporting local non-profit initiatives, raising funds for those in need, and distributing grants that positively impact Medfield. The funds raised from the Angel Run form MFi’s Community Assistance Fund which is allocated to Medfield residents in need through an application process administered in conjunction with Medfield Outreach.

From Susan Maritan, for Rich Purnell –
Dear Medfield Community,
I am delighted to extend a warm and heartfelt invitation to our community, inviting everyone to celebrate a significant milestone with us at New Life Furniture Bank of MA. We are commemorating our first decade of service, and we invite you to be a part of this extraordinary evening on Wednesday, October 25th at the Four Points by Sheraton in Norwood.
This celebration is not only to honor our past but also to look forward to our bright future. We are especially thrilled to pay tribute to one of our organization’s founding pillars, Ron Yates. Ron’s unwavering dedication and tireless efforts over the past 10 years have been instrumental in driving New Life’s growth, enabling us to provide furniture and household items to people transitioning out of a homeless situation.
Our 10-year anniversary event promises to be a night filled with great food, delightful company, and entertaining games, ensuring a memorable experience for all who attend. It is an opportunity for our community to come together and celebrate the profound impact we’ve had on over 11,000 lives, including veterans, survivors of domestic abuse, refugees, individuals facing health challenges or job loss, and, of course, the children who rely on them.
Your presence at this celebration is not just a sign of support; it’s a commitment to the cause. Together, we have turned empty spaces into homes, bringing dignity, hope, and comfort to those we serve. Your participation will contribute to the ongoing success of New Life Furniture Bank and our mission to create a brighter future for our community.
To reserve your tickets, please go to our website: newlifefb.org. We ask that you encourage others to join us in celebrating this incredible journey that has touched the lives of so many in Massachusetts.
We look forward to your presence on this special evening as we pay tribute to our past, celebrate the present, and envision a brighter future for all.
Sincerely,
Rich Purnell
Executive Director, New Life Furniture Bank of MA

I started this blog to share the interesting and useful information that I saw while doing my job as a Medfield select board member. I thought that my fellow Medfield residents would also find that information interesting and useful as well. This blog is my effort to assist in creating a system to push the information out from the Town House to residents. Let me know if you have any thoughts on how it can be done better.
