On April 21, Emily Craven (NNHS ’22) will run the 129th Boston Marathon to raise funds for the Fig City News summer internship program, now in its third year. To date, Emily has raised $4,761 toward her goal of $7,500. That’s 63% of the way — equivalent to passing Mile 16 entering Newton on the Boston Marathon course.

Emily says, “Fig City’s intern program supports young journalists and gives them an opportunity to get real field experience while providing them an outlet for their voices to be heard. It is so important for young people to have an outlet to share their stories because their voices and opinions are incredibly powerful and important. …I know how beneficial it can be to have those experiences as a student. It also means a lot to me to get to support a program that directly works with students from my former high school. I am so grateful to have the opportunity to give back to my community in this way.”
