• Give Now to the High Hopes Fund!

This week, the senior captains of Marblehead High School’s Powder Puff football team presented Joslin Diabetes Center with a check for $9,151 to support pediatric research. The captains, pictured here, and their team including all the senior girls, were the winners of this traditional football game between Marblehead and Swampscott in November. As the victors, these young women and their coach Jacqueline Bouchard chose to share the proceeds of the game admissions with Joslin Diabetes Center in honor of Meghan Gabel, one of their co-captains. Meghan is an advocate for Type 1 diabetes in her community and an active organizer for Powder Puff and many other school activities.

Congratulations to the Class of 2013 Senior Girls of Marblehead High on their win!

We will talk about the evening for a long time and are mindful that hard work continues to combat diabetes. We hope that our contribution provides some help in this endeavor and we look forward to the day when diabetes is just a memory," Joe Wickwire.

Thank you to all our generous supporters for making the 2012 High Hopes Gala a success!
