Join Building Impact on March 27th from 6-9 p.m. for the 2nd Annual Building Impact "Non-Gala" at the offices of Sullivan & Worcester LLP. This award-winning evening will benefit Building Impact's programming which provides individuals and companies with the knowledge and opportunity to volunteer, donate, and connect in the buildings where they work or live. The evening will celebrate and honor National Development and Building Impact partners who have made the biggest impact on the community.
"National Development is proud to give back to the community in which we live and work. We have consistently supported Building Impact because they have built an effective model of connecting valuable resources with those who need them the most," said Tom Alperin, president of National Development.
Over 200 guests are expected to attend this feel-good celebration of service and community. This unique event, organized to engage professionals in volunteerism, will model Building Impact's volunteer efforts across Greater Boston as the organization fills service gaps in local communities and nonprofits. The evening's festivities will include stations where guests will engage in hands-on community service activities such as making fleece blankets for the homeless, assembling literacy kits for summer reading programs, and making well wish cards for senior citizens.
Other companies supporting the Non-Gala and helping to strengthen our community include: ADD Inc, VHB, Janitronics, Paradigm Properties, and Stantec.
