Please join us April 25, 6:00 - 9:00 p.m. at the State Room in Boston for our 2nd Annual Friends with Benefits Gala. This year we’re partnering with five dynamic nonprofit leaders: The Boston Bruins Foundation, College Bound Dorchester, The Doug Flutie, Jr. Foundation, the Ellie Fund and The International Rett Syndrome Foundation .
These nonprofit organizations have come together to collaborate, share best practices, and create new partnerships that will raise significant funding and awareness to help strengthen their common goals of helping those in need.
Many people do behind the scenes work to help these organizations attain their goals, for this reason, they have each chosen an “unsung friend” that will be honored during this gala.
Our event will bring together hundreds of friends to celebrate the missions of these great organizations, and enjoy gourmet chef stations by Tresca, Darryls Corner Bar and Grill, State Room, Restaurant Dante, Deuxave, Abby Park, Turner Fisheries, Local 149, Farmstead Table, Posto and I Dream of Jeanne Cakes, hosted bars, exciting auctions, and celebrity guests. In addition, VIP Guests are invited to enjoy an exclusive reception 5:00 - 6:00 p.m. with local celebrities, plus gift bags and specialty cocktails from GrandTen Distillery.
