On December 6th, 2024, a significant event took place as HSP members Kevin Quilty, Ray Estes, Deb McCarthy, Ted Healey, and Chris O’Connor joined State Senator Patrick O’Connor at the groundbreaking ceremony of The Dock. This moment marked the start of the construction of a remarkable wellness and fitness center at Hingham High School.

Uniting the Community for a Healthier Future

Building a Modern Wellness Hub

The 2,500 square foot modern facility, The Dock, to be located at the HHS Athletic Complex, is set to bring about a significant transformation. It will enable Hingham High School to expand its electives, including yoga and more, providing a better space for these activities and enhancing students' wellness. Moreover, the sports teams will have a more modern area to build strength, wellness, and camaraderie.This initiative is not just about physical fitness; it's about creating an inclusive and modern space that caters to the diverse needs of the students and the community. It's a step towards a healthier and more active lifestyle.

Philanthropic Support for a Great Cause

The Dock is being completely funded through philanthropy. Generous individuals and businesses have played a crucial role in making this project a reality. Jim and Anne Davis, owners of New Balance; Coastal Dealerships; South Shore Bank; Symmons; and Special Needs Athletic Partnership have all contributed. Additionally, Senator Patrick O’Connor secured a $100,000 grant from the State of Massachusetts.This shows the power of community support and the willingness of businesses and individuals to come together for a common goal. Their contributions are the foundation upon which The Dock will be built.

Meeting the Goal and Looking Ahead

While construction has already begun, there is still a need to raise $200,000 more to meet the project's goal. Campaign Co-Chair Kevin Quilty encourages those who have not yet contributed to consider making a gift at any level as they plan their year-end charitable giving.HSP expects the project to be completed by summer 2025, and it is already a significant achievement as the nonprofit's largest project to date. This will not only benefit the students of Hingham High School but also contribute to the overall well-being of the community.To learn more about HSP and how you can donate, visit https://www.hinghamsports.com/node/12.
