Local agencies and Concord Public Schools were awarded grants totalling more than $557,000 on June 15, 2010. The allocations were determined with the help of 32 volunteers in Concord and Carlisle who reviewed applications, made site visits and recommended funding. The Chest's board of directors approved all allocations and quarterly grants were mailed starting in July.
 8th Annual Challengers Race to the Finish
Thank you for joining us for the 8th annual Community Chest Challenge. Teams had fun pedaling, running and paddling through historic Concord and Carlisle to benefit local human service organizations. The spirit of the race was embodied in meeting a challenge through teamwork as demonstrated by the efforts of the many agencies and programs supported by the Community Chests. Next year's race will be on Sunday, June 5th. »Learn More
