Save the Turtle

Have you found yourself wondering, “Whatever happened to the turtle at Marine Park?” Well, Colin’s Joy Project is working closely with DCR to fund the specialized delicate restoration of the beloved turtle! The turtle will be making its debut sometime in the late fall! To celebrate, Colin’s Joy wants to see your pics from over the years of you and your family/friends on the turtle and hear your stories of what the turtle means to you. Just tag them in your photos!

Join Colin’s Joy Project in commemorating this special project with a limited edition “Save the Turtle” T-shirt. These will be on sale in adult and kid sizes at all their upcoming events (including the South Boston Street Festival and the Colin’s Joy Project 5K) while supplies last.

Lace up your sneakers!

The Annual Colin Joy Project 5K will take place on September 28, 2024. The day will begin with two youth races, followed by a 5 km course along scenic South Boston beaches. After the race, there will be light refreshments and entertainment, along with the awards. Don’t forget an opportunity to grab Colin’s Joy Project merch!
