There has never been a more exciting time to be a Bruins fan and here is your chance to see Bruins Legends here on the South Shore, each guest will get a special commemorative program book and opportunities to get autographs! Come see Bruins Alumni Legends; Kenny Hodge, Andy Brickley, Bob Beers, Billy O’dwyer, and Don Marcotte and more!
The Jett Foundation is extremely grateful to the Boston Bruins for traveling down to the South Shore and the Gentleman’s Hockey League (GHL) who helped coordinate this exciting event. In addition to all proceeds of this event going to the Jett Foundation, each player on the GHL are donating $500 to the Jett Foundation as well.
“We are thrilled to support the Jett Foundation in this way” says Dave Chaunt, Captain of the GHL “I have known the McSherry family for many years and know how much the Jett Foundation helps kids like Jett who are diagnosed with this progressive muscle wasting disorder. So much muscle strength is required to play hockey and most of us take that for granted – this is our way of helping kids like Jett McSherry and 20,000 other boys like him, to find a cure for Duchenne”.
Proceeds from this event will support children with neuromuscular disorders like Jett McSherry, a Pembroke native whose parents founded the Jett Foundation 10 years ago when Jett was diagnosed with Duchenne muscular dystrophy.
During the first intermission, several boys and young men with Duchenne will have a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to play with some of the greatest hockey players of all time. Although children with Duchenne lack the muscle strength to play most sports, they love the game and are thrilled to share the ice with Hockey legends of the Boston Bruins.
Tickets make a great gift for sports enthusiasts! Call today and purchase your tickets 781-585-5566 or email colleen@jettfoundation.org. Sponsorship opportunities are also available to advertise in our commemorative program book, more than 400 people are expected to attend this great family event!

The 2011 JettRiders are cycling into Point Pleasant at 12:00 noon on Friday August 5, completing their 1,500 mile journey across 7 States. The JettRiders will arrive in style with a Police and Fire Department escort down Arnold Avenue to the beach. The boardwalk and beach will be filled with families from all over the country who wish to welcome the riders home and celebrate their journey. After dipping their tires in the ocean, the JettRiders will enjoy a luncheon at Jenkinson’s to continue the celebration.
The cyclists are traveling from Minnesota to New Jersey in an effort to raise money and awareness for Duchenne Muscular Dystrophy (Duchenne) – the most common lethal disorder diagnosed during childhood today. The ride also gives a voice to the riders, most of whom have a sibling living with Duchenne. The JettRide allows them to bond with one another while trying to improve quality of life and care for their brothers, friends and cousins.

The Jett Foundation is proud to announce our semi-annual Duchenne Roundtable will be held on July 23rd at Piers Park in East Boston. The target audience is being narrowed to Dr. Canapari clinic teens who are hopefully going to interact with him (without parents) about how compliance issues/partnerships can be better pursued. We are aiming to have 10-15 teens so they can talk about the issues around the transition to living as adults with DMD. Gordon Sterlig and Laura Brelsford will talk about life after high school.
For parents, we’ll have Jennifer Samaras, insurance gladiator, to answer any insurance-related questions about the transition.
Space is limited, so please RSVP with Danielle – dcstacey@partners.org
