Thank you to all who attended our 2011 Masquer-Aid Ball!

Our inaugural Masquer-Aid proved to be even more successful than we could have imagined. Held on October 28, 2011 at the Venezia Restaurant & Banquet Hall, we drew over 340 guests, 31 sponsors, and a wonderful showing by our 2011 Partner of the Year: Ropes & Gray. We are so grateful for the backing we received from our enthusiastic Sponsors, particularly our Presenting Sponsor in Carney Hospital, and our many guests that came out to show their support. Thanks to their generosity, we raised over $116,000 as we established our first-ever signature event!

Due to Boston’s continual endorsement of community health and commitment to accessible care in Dorchester, the Masquer-Aid Ball was able to exceed our goals to support our recently-expanded Urgent Care Clinic. The funds raised will go a long way toward providing walk-in and primary care access for up to 6,600 new patients in our community. Remember: your support is not only a gift for a patient’s health; it is an investment in a sustainable future for health care.
