Boston’s big backpack boost for students

Thousands of local kids will walk into school this fall with brand new backpacks, thanks to an incredible community effort at Boston University. Volunteers packed 45,000 backpacks full of essentials like notebooks and pencils, aiming to ease the burden for families struggling with rising costs. With school supply expenses topping $850 per child, this support means more than just supplies—it’s a message that every student matters. Cradles to Crayons is still seeking volunteers and donations to reach even more kids. How do you think these kinds of efforts shape our community? #Safety #Boston #BackToSchool

Boston doctor’s urgent call: Colon cancer can strike young

Colon cancer isn’t just an older person’s disease—Dr. George Beauregard’s own son, a local Marine, lost his life to it at just 32. Now, this Boston doctor is urging everyone under 50 to take screening seriously. His family’s heartbreaking experience led to a nonprofit focused on beating colorectal cancer in young adults. It’s a powerful reminder that early screening could save lives right here in our community. How do you feel about cancer screenings for younger people? Would you get checked earlier if it meant peace of mind? #News #Boston #ColonCancerAwareness

Boston’s skyline just changed forever

Boston just pulled off something that hasn’t happened in 40 years—a massive new development was built right over the Mass Pike! The Lyrik project, designed by Haley & Aldrich, stacked a 20-story office tower, hotel, retail, and even an elevated park directly above the highway and rail lines. The engineering team had to get seriously creative, using every deep foundation trick in the book to make it work safely. It’s a wild example of what’s possible in urban construction—imagine what this could mean for future city growth. Would you want to see more projects like this in Boston? #Business #Industry #Boston
