The Patriots Day star posed for photos and chatted with members of Jett Foundation as they celebrated World Duchenne Awareness Day at the Fenway Park location of the restaurant.

Located in Kingston, Massachusetts, Jett Foundation is a nonprofit organization which strives to increase awareness and raise funds for research in the hopes of finding a cure for Duchenne muscular dystrophy.

According to the organization’s website, approximately 1 in every 3,500 males are born with Duchenne and there are roughly 15,000 diagnosed patients living today in the United States.

“Jett Foundation is so grateful for the entire Wahlberg family’s support for and dedication to the Duchenne community,” the organization posted on Facebook.

Mark not only posed with members of Jett but found a new pal in Destinee, a child currently battling the disease.

Ten percent of all sales on September 7 from three Massachusetts locations of Wahlburgers went towards Jett Foundation.

The city of Flint is battling toxic lead levels in its public water. It’s been an issue since the city moved over to its own water source from the Flint River and away from Detroit’s water in the spring of 2014 in an effort to save money. The city’s plan backfired after high lead levels were found in the water. Many residents are suffering from this detrimental outcome, especially children ages 0 to 6.

Research proves that lead exposure may affect a developing child’s IQ, resulting in learning disabilities. Lead exposure can also affect nearly every system in the body, according to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. Many good celebrities, aside from Beyonce, are lending a hand to the city in need.

Cher donated 180,000 bottles of water, while Mark Wahlberg and Sean “Diddy” Combs donated one million bottles of water to the residents of Flint.

The Detroit Daily News reports that Aretha Franklin offered to purchase hotel rooms and provide food for families that needed to leave their homes. Meanwhile, Detroit-native Eminem got involved by donating funds to the cause.

Rapper Big Sean started up his own cause to raise money for children affected by the high lead levels and is asking fans to donate.

“I’m raising money to support the kids of Flint Michigan. Toxic water in Flint has rendered the water undrinkable and put the entire city in a state of emergency. Flint’s children were hit the hardest and some have experienced permanent and potentially devastating health effects from lead poisoning,” he wrote on his website for the cause.

So far, Big Sean’s cause raised nearly $60,000. It runs through April.
