We are so saddened by the passing of Senator Ed Kennedy, a true friend and champion of Community Action. Senator Kennedy was a fierce advocate for housing and homelessness, education, culture and the arts. When Community Teamwork established our Youth Opportunity Center for at-risk youth and young adults facing homelessness, Ed stepped in to help found the Mayor's Holiday Rock & Roll Fest - combining his passion for music with his passion for helping the youth in Lowell and Greater Lowell. He brought his band of "rock & roll" friends together to put on a fun-filled Holiday concert and helped raise funds to bring our Youth Service programing to fruition. That Holiday tradition continued with three future Mayors. For this, and for so many other ways he helped our community, we are forever grateful. Our hearts are with Senator Kennedy's family during this difficult time. May he rest in peace.
