COMMUNITY SPOTLIGHT · OCTOBER 17, 2026
BTR’s 2nd annual Breast Cancer Awareness Walk brought our community together at D.W. Field Park in Brockton.
Special thanks to Ms. Balboni and the many Brockton High School students who came out to volunteer.
T.A.R.G.E.T.S. · YOUTH MENTORSHIP
Tenacity Allows Reaching Goals Even Through Struggles.
Every young person deserves someone in their corner. T.A.R.G.E.T.S. gives young men and women a place to be heard, be challenged, and grow, with mentors who show up for them week after week. Through honest conversations, hands-on workshops, and one-on-one guidance, participants build confidence, set real goals, and learn how to bounce back when life gets hard. They walk in unsure of what they can do. They walk out with a plan, a voice, and a community that believes in them.
