Celebrating Adam Lewis: 16 Years of Excellence of Fenway Park


We are proud to celebrate CBDS/Employment Services participant Adam Lewis, who has spent the past 16 years welcoming fans as a greeter at Fenway Park.


Adam's dedication, reliability, and positive attitude have made him a valued member of the Red Sox game-day team. His inspiring journey was recently featured on WCVB Channel 5's 5 for Good, highlighting the impact of meaningful employment and community inclusion.


As our CEO, Abby Parrilla, shared, "Success for our individuals is measured by longevity in their jobs, as they show up early, stay dependable, and bring a smile to work each day."


Congratulations, Adam, on this well-deserved recognition! We are honored to celebrate your accomplishments and the positive example you set every day.

Congratulations, Rebecca Reynders!

The Price Center is proud to celebrate Rebecca Reynders, a participant in our Specialized Supports program, for her outstanding achievements in figure skating.


Rebecca is a member of Overture of Boston, the Theater On Ice Adaptive Team at the Skating Club of Boston. This past June, her team won first place and the Gold Medal in the Adaptive Division at the 2026 National Theater On Ice Competition in Irvine, California, earning the title of two-time National Champions.


Rebecca also trains as an individual skater and won a Gold Medal in the Special Olympics division earlier this year for her solo freestyle performance at Williams College.


Congratulations, Rebecca! We’ are so proud of your hard work, dedication, and incredible accomplishments.

Did You Know?

Attendance has a significant impact on both the individuals we support and the sustainability of our programs. Across The Price Center's day and community-based services, just one week of absenteeism by a single individual can result in a loss of approximately $1,000 in funding.


When individuals attend regularly, they benefit from consistent skill-building, community engagement, and meaningful relationships. At the same time, consistent attendance helps ensure that The Price Center can continue providing high-quality services and opportunities that enrich the lives of those we support.
