Sights and sounds from the eighth annual Helping Veterans Heal televent

On Wednesday, November 11, 2026 — Veterans Day — from 4:30 a.m. to 8 p.m., Home Base and WCVB, Boston’s trusted news and community leader, partnered for the eighth consecutive year for the annual Helping Veterans Heal televent.

The televent not only raised critical awareness for our clinical programs, but also over $352,000 in support of our mission to heal the invisible wounds of war for Veterans, Service Members, Military Families and Families of the Fallen.

We were honored to be joined by Tom Werner, Chairman, Boston Red Sox, who remotely announced the date of the 18th annual Run to Home Base at Fenway Park — Saturday, July 17, 2027, pending city approval.

We also released the Reaching Out PSA — in partnership with Mass General Brigham, the Massachusetts General Hospital Center for Gun Violence Prevention Center and the New England Patriots Foundation — urging those who know a Veteran who is struggling to encourage them to reach out for support featuring Lieutenant Colonel Brian Kitching, a former U.S. Army Ranger who received care at Home Base, and Rhonda Conaway, whose husband, a Veteran, died by suicide. They appear alongside New England Patriots quarterback and team captain Drake Maye. Click here to learn more.
