Family Service of Greater Boston - 2012 Gala from Dmitriy Dribinskiy on Vimeo.

Charlie Baker, Jr. and Tom Hart have agreed to co-chair the event. Charlie Baker, Jr. is a long time supporter of Family Service of Greater Boston. He first became interested in the agency through his mother, who herself was a fervent supporter. Charlie has achieved major success in the private and public sector. We are thrilled he has agreed to lend his support to this years’ Gala and is looking forward to sharing his passion for the agency with all attendees.

Tom Hart is New England Market President for KForce Professional Staffing and is also an esteemed member of our Board of Trustees. Tom has been a supporter of the agency and its’ work for many years and is excited to join Charlie in celebrating 176 years of service to the Greater Boston area.

This year’s Family Legacy Award will go to Drs. Eli and Carolyn Newberger, to be presented by last years award recipient, The Honorable Mayor Thomas M. Menino. The theme of our Family Legacy Gala is “Strengthening Boston, One Family at a Time”. As we considered the social and cultural markers that have strengthened families in the Greater Boston area, the work of both Eli and Carolyn jumped to the forefront because of their genuine and profound commitment to the welfare of families. Their philosophy that focuses on the strength and resilience of parent-child relationships, and a practice oriented to compassion and understanding, rather than blame and punishment are perfectly aligned with the mission and vision of Family Service.

Now in our 176th year, Family Service of Greater Boston is proud to serve Greater Boston’s most vulnerable children, youth and families through programs that strive to break the cycle of dysfunction across generations. We look forward to observing this ongoing tradition, as one of the nation’s oldest social service organizations, at this year’s event. We sincerely hope you will join us in October to celebrate the success of building healthier communities in the Boston area.
