ABCD has many corporate partners who help the agency to meet needs in critically important programs. For example, the Boston Red Sox donate the use of Fenway Park each year to enable ABCD to hold its Field of Dreams softball tournament that raises more than $200,000 annually to fund summer jobs for inner-city youngsters.
ABCD expresses sincere appreciation to the following donors whose gifts of $15,000 and greater in 2009 provided significant assistance to families struggling to overcome poverty and build better lives:
Arbella Insurance Group Charitable Foundation Barr Foundation Bartol Charitable Foundation Boston Bar Foundation The Boston Foundation Children’s Hospital Boston Citizens Bank DMB Financial, LLC East Boston Foundation Elton John AIDS Foundation Fiduciary Charitable Foundation Museum of Fine Arts |
National Grid Partners HealthCare System Paul and Phyllis Fireman Charitable Foundation Project Bread Roberta Thall Charitable Trust State Street Foundation TD Bank, N.A. TJX Foundation, Inc. United Way of Massachusetts Bay & Merrimack Valley, Inc. Yawkey Foundation II |
ABCD extends its most sincere appreciation to these very generous donors and also expresses its gratitude for the many smaller gifts made by generous individuals and corporations which make it possible for us to continue to provide hope and opportunity to those in need.
