This milestone event on Thursday, November 12, 2026, at 6:00 p.m at the DCU Club at Polar Park in Worcester, MA, will bring together friends, supporters, and community members for a memorable night filled with purpose and celebration.

Guests will enjoy cocktails and hor d’oeuvres, entertainment by a classically trained violinist, Violin Viiv, exciting raffles, and opportunities to connect while reflecting on a decade of impact.
The evening will continue with an exclusive after party in the Worcester Red Sox Clubhouse, offering an opportunity to take a few swings in the batting cage along with a lively and festive atmosphere to celebrate how far the foundation has come—and the lives it continues to touch.
