The Neighborhood Gala is the fundraising event for United South End Settlements. Held at Cyclorama, the Gala brought generous people from Boston together to support the neighborhood organization.
It was hoped that The Neigborhood Gala would raise $1,000,000 and a celebration was in order when over $1,090,000 was donated to the community organization.Simmons University professor Galey Bailey is presented with the Mel King Social Innovator Award by USES CEO Jerrell Cox and Pam King, daughter of Mel King.Auctioneer Tom Stebbins preforms his duties with excitement and high energy.Auctioneer and emcee of the evening’s festivities Tom Stebbins gets the guests excited to donate to USES.Guests enjoy the ambience, community and celebration of The Neigborhood Gala.Connor Donahue and David LaBonte from Cabot Risk StrategiesDavid Waldman, Cara and Noah Schlesinger, and Ben HoweTait Nielsen and Brian FlynnKathy Marchi, Kathy Bello McCornick Kacy Maitland and Henessy GuerreroBunker Hill Community College Dean of Students Justice Kumahia and Associate Provost Arlene VallieJackie O’Connor and Katherine MurphyUnited South End Settlements Board Chair Silvia Buonamici and star auctioneer Tom StebbinsBoston-based electric violinist and DJ Violin Viiv Vivian Lao, performs to arriving guests at the Cyclorama.Monique Hall, Silvia Buonamici and Dave LeonardAlicia Sloan and Aaliyah WilliamsDawir Araia Kendry Rousseau, and Megan HaveranPhilip Doshku Changemaker Award recipient Jim Brett and Leigh WaltonStephen Stewart, Elizabeth O’Brien and Bob LaGoydaUnited South End Settlements CEO Jerrell Cox welcomes guests to The Neigborhood Gala.United South End Settlements CEO Jerrell Cox welcomes guests to The Neigborhood Gala.Recipient of the Mel King Social Innovator Award was Galey Bailey, professor at Simmons University.Recipient of the Philip Dushku Changemaker Award James T Brett (2nd from left) with his wife Pattie, Eliza Dushku, Massachusetts State Rep John Moran, and Boston City Councilor Ruthzee LouijeunePhilip Dushku Changemaker Award James T Brett chats with Eliza DushkuCEO of the NE Council and recipient of the Philip Dushku Changemaker Award James T Brett (2nd from left) with Sofia, Aaron, and Eliza Dushku, children of the Award’s namesake.CEO of the NE Council and recipient of the Philip Dushku Changemaker Award James T Brett offers remarks after reviving the award.CEO of the NE Council James T Brett is given the Philip Doshku Changemaker Award from Aaron Dushku.Auctioneer Tom Stebbins leads in a bidding battle for a giant bottle of wine from table to table.
