Boston Marathon 2020 - Kevin da Rosa

The Claddagh Fund

After my first time witnessing the sea of faces, wincing in pain, cross the finish line of Boston Marathon, I thought  "Wow, that's something I don't ever really want to try!"    

Over the following  7 years, I have closely witnessed the damaging effects of substance abuse in my community.   This, along with my brother’s fundraising efforts with the Dropkick Murphys has made me aware of the ways that the band's leader, Ken Casey’s, charity The Claddaugh Fund raises money to help addicts in severe need.  Deeply touched by their work, I knew I wanted to help!

 I am beyond grateful to use my gifts to give what I can in order to help our brothers and sisters struggling with substance abuse.

 Please help me support them.  

 Thank you, Kevin!

The Claddagh Fund

The Claddagh Fund was founded in Boston in 2009 by Ken Casey of the Dropkick Murphys. Ken, his bandmates and their families have supported charities throughout the history of the band. Understanding the power of their position to harness the passion and generosity of their fans, the Claddagh Fund was created to raise funds for and broaden our impact on worthy, underfunded non-profits that support the most vulnerable individuals in our communities.
