Honors at the State House
The Mass 9/11 Fund’s Karin Charles and Pat Hoban recently traveled to the Massachusetts State House to honor Governor Charlie Baker and Lt. Governor Karyn Polito for their many years of unwavering support and heartfelt dedication to the Mass 9/11 Families. The governor and lieutenant governor have kindly participated in the Mass 9/11 Fund’s annual commemoration to honor and remember those with a connection to Massachusetts who died on September 11. Lt. Governor Polito has also chaired the Madeline Amy Sweeney Award for Civilian Bravery Selection Committee.

Learning About 9/11: Education Curriculum for High School Seniors
As we mark the 22nd anniversary of September 11, we know there is an entire generation of young people who were either too young or not even born yet in 2001. To continue teaching the lessons of that day, we, the Massachusetts 9/11 families, have created an education module geared toward high school students that explains how events unfolded and life changed for everyone on September 11, 2001. To preview this important education tool and view the remote learning video program and accompanying teaching materials please click here.
