OUR TEAM

The West End House “Dawnn for Peace” Marathon Team plays a vital role in funding programs that support West End House youth. Dawnn Jaffier was a lifelong member of the West End House whose passion was improving the lives of young people across Boston. Before becoming an innocent victim of violence, Dawnn was a mentor and role model for hundreds of young people at the West End House and beyond. Learn more about Dawnn’s life and legacy here.

Each of our runners has the once in a lifetime opportunity to compete in one of the most prestigious races worldwide. By raising funds for West End House, our five runners will honor the legacy of Dawnn Jaffier and impact the lives of thousands of young people across Boston.
