On Saturday, March 4, 2017, participants will climb 61 flights of stairs to the top of 200 Clarendon Tower, New England’s tallest building. Climb to the Top is a unique event that raises funds to help the more than 21,000 people in Maine, Massachusetts, New Hampshire, Rhode Island, and Vermont affected by multiple sclerosis, a disease of the central nervous system that has no known cause or cure. Your participation in Climb to the Top provides help for today and hope for tomorrow through education, support, advocacy, and research funded by the National Multiple Sclerosis Society, Greater New England Chapter.

The Friends of the Boston Park Rangers Mounted Unit invites you to join us May 4th for an evening of hors d’oeuvres & libations to celebrate our equine officers. Taking place at the John Hancock Tower from 6:00-8:00 in the evening, not only will they have some of the best views of Boston, but live entertainment and a hat contest for those attendees dressed in their derby best.

Live auction items include a Duck Tour and stays at the Grayden House of Nantucket as well as the Fairmont Copley Plaza. Mark your calendars now & start hat shopping.

Didn’t get your invite to the Oscars? It’s just as well because the Ellie Fund is hosting their 23rd Annual Red Carpet Gala the same evening with an epic awards watching party and tasting event.

On Sunday, February 24th, head on over to the Fairmont Copley Plaza to join Boston’s top movers & shakers in a celebration of film, philanthropy and food from some of the city’s best chefs. You’ll have the chance to meet Stefano Zimei of Chopps American Bar & Grill, Delio Susi of Sulmona, Patrick McRell of Our Fathers, Tatiana Rosana of Outlook at the Envoy, Sean MacAlpine of City Table, Stan Hilbert owner of Forage, Efe Onoglu of Nahita and Brian Mercury of Oak + Rowan.

In addition to the chef stations, there’ll be a cocktail reception, silent & live auctions, streaming of the awards show straight from Hollywood, dancing and live music. The night is all in support of the nonprofit’s mission to help breast cancer patients with transportation, light housekeeping, grocery assistance and more. Tickets are $300 per person, and you can reserve an entire table if you’ve got a group of eight — get more details and find the tickets this way.
