Beth Sherouse, a member of the Sean’s Last Wish foundation’s board of directors said 15-20 people attended the board hearing in support of the Kennedy family.

The report is organized by the four tenets of the organization: Support, Celebrate, Educate, and Advocate. Some of the highlights in the report include sections on the successful recycling campaign entitled “My PRIDE color is GREEN,” the outreach at region al Pride events and the collaboration with the other progressive organizations in the state. The report also makes public the financial well-being of the organization.
