THANK YOU for making the 16th annual Bostonians for Youth Gala such a special event. We’re so grateful to you, our beloved community, for showing up in support of our collective vision of an equitable Boston. That support for TBC’s mission and vision was never more clear as our Host, Latoyia Edwards, NBC10 Morning news anchor, guided us through the evening with authenticity and passion.

We hope you enjoyed the night as much as we did - from Honorary Chair, Governor Maura Healey's welcome message, to the powerful community circle experience facilitated by The Very Rev. Dr. Michael Battle, to inspiring remarks from our 2023 Leader of Change, Dr. Imari Paris Jeffries, to the post-event Beloved Community Celebration.

So far, we have raised $372,061 - 88% of our fundraising goal. Please help us close the gap and consider investing in Trinity Boston Connects’ racial healing work! Text “BFY2023” to 44321 or click the link below.

If you attended the gala, we'd love to hear from you! Please drop a line in our virtual suggestion box by filling out our gala survey below.

For those who could not attend, check out our new video, Healing, Full Circle, which invites you into BCLA-McCormack to hear directly from students and staff about the impact of Trinity@McCormack's restorative practices on their school.

Photos and a recording of the gala itself will be available on TBC's website shortly. Check back soon to watch and share with your friends who couldn't attend!
