Other community events

FCHP also sponsors and supports a number of community events throughout Massachusetts:

  • Canal Diggers 5K Road Race
  • Golf FORE a Goal golf tournament
  • 4th of July Celebration
  • Worcester's St. Patrick's Day Parade

FCHP supports many causes in the community, like the United Way and many others. By doing so, it provides employees with opportunities to participate and help us grow from the "inside" out. We're allowed time to volunteer and get involved in our community.  Now, that's a company I'm proud to work for.
