Are the very same people who are great sometimes! And if you have any doubts, read on.
The Boys and Girls Club of MetroWest’s Annual Gala is a key fundraising event for the organization, and year after year, it has garnered a great range of contributions from the community. The combination of raffles and silent auction items, awards, presentations and speeches, good food and plenty of cheer, is a no-fail mix. Last year, for example, the event raised $128,000. And then the pandemic hit.
But the Boys and Girls Clubs of MetroWest know how to handle obstacles. This year, their Gala was virtual. And the funds raised (including before, during and after the event) reached $137,000. So there, COVID.
We at Inside Out Communications, Inc., are particularly excited because our VP of Client Services, Maria Stearns, is a member of the Board of Directors for the Boys and Girls Clubs of MetroWest, and sits on their resource development subcommittee as well. Here’s a shout out!
