Photos of the Week

Rebekah Roulier with Doc Wayne Coach Erika Montgomery from the Susan Wayne Center for Excellence at the CHEERS for CHAMPS event at Fenway Park. The best part of the evening was watching two programs (boys and girls included) interact positively and enjoy a Doc Wayne evening out.  After the event, players, coaches, and Doc Wayne staff had a pizza party together. (Photo credit goes to one of the fantastic SWCE players!)
