Did you know 31% of the population in Quincy is Asian and 30% of Quincy residents are immigrants? The Family Fun Run celebrates BCNC Quincy’s 10th anniversary of strengthening the Asian and immigrant community and raises funds to support our vital programs. The Run brings the community together to stay active, connect, and support healthy communities. Proceeds raised from this run will go to support youth leadership programs, adult English classes, and mental health support services for local immigrant families in the South Shore.

About BCNC Quincy

For more than 50 years, BCNC has been providing new immigrants, especially Asians, with the support and resources they need to thrive in the United States.  With deep roots in Boston's Chinatown neighborhood, BCNC now serves people from three locations in Greater Boston and the South Shore. Its holistic, family-centered programs reach 13,000 children, youth, and adults each year, setting them up for success in school, work and life. BCNC also builds vibrant communities through Pao Arts Center, along with its collaborations and research. After seeing that 30% of participants came from Quincy to our Boston offices to receive services, we launched BCNC Quincy in 2014.  Today, BCNC Quincy is one of the top ranking adult education program in the South Shore. We serve hundreds of youth with college access and leadership programs and provide Asian and new immigrant families with critical support. Visit bcnc.net.
