FOXBORO - A leadership reunion was held for Project 351 ambassadors at Gillette Stadium on Saturday.

Project 351 is dedicated to community-building and leadership training, with ambassadors representing each of Massachusetts's 351 cities and towns. Saturday's event celebrated the impact the ambassadors have had on the community and kicks off the second half of the organization's service year.

"I serve because I want to help someone be able to then maybe help someone else," said Madelyn Moreau of Monson. "I want to inspire a chain reaction. I want to make, like a ripple effect."

WBZ TV's Lisa Hughes hosted a conversation at the event with several changemakers, including Patriots safety Devin McCourty.
