An Evening of Changing Lives

Jenny Holaday and Sam Gibbs

Thank you for helping us change lives during an incredible evening at Encore Boston Harbor!

With your support we raised more than $500,000 to support programs that help people with diverse abilities live as full members of their communities. We were also thrilled to honor Julie Cummings and Tom Gould with our Changing Lives Award, recognizing their long-time support of Northeast Arc and commitment to creating inclusive opportunities for people with disabilities. You can click here to see photos from the event. Stay tuned for more photos and videos in the days ahead, including all of the images from our photo booth!
