BOMF Boston would like to recognize
Ruckus Sports as their company of the month for January.
Ruckus has once again named Back on My Feet as an official charity partner for their upcoming Ruckus Boston. This is the second time Back on My Feet has been awarded this distinction by Ruckus.
BOMF has been involved with Ruckus since the organization’s inaugural event at the Marshfield Fair Grounds
last November. Back on My Feet team members participated in the first-ever Ruckus and had a blast. It was also an important fundraising opportunity for BOMF. We are thrilled to be partnered yet again for another successful year. Back on My Feet Boston team members are already mentally preparing themselves to make a Ruckus.
“We are thrilled to partner with Back on My Feet Boston for the second annual Ruckus Boston event this June 2011,” says Liam Brenner, Co-Founder of Ruckus Sports. “Our event is designed to help people discover the power of persistence and determination, and Back on My Feet works with individuals every day to help those in difficult situations persevere. We are excited to be able to provide a fun and engaging event for friends and family of Back on My Feet to join together, have fun and raise funds to help continue the good work of this important program. The team at Ruckus Sports applauds the spirit of Back on My Feet Boston and their willingness to ‘Dig Deep and Play Hard’.”
Everyone at Back on My Feet Boston would like to thank the Ruckus Sports team for their support and congratulate them for the honor of Company of the Month!

Ruckus Course Master and retired military Special Operations Officer Matt Hagan designed a one-mile mini Ruckus-style obstacle course throughout the Common to give Back on My Feet runners a little taste of the three-mile course run at the Marshfield Fairgrounds, taking place on November 13.
