IFMA set sail rain and shine for the harbor aboard one of the finest vessels Boston has to offer, The Majesty. Her grand atrium and three decks provided ample space for all to enjoy. The views from the harbor were spectacular. Great music, great people and the hors d'oeuvres were delectable. A few sprinkles, a little wind and lots of laughs. It was a fun evening all around. Below are some photo's from the event
A 50/50 Raffle was held for the SPARK center. Barbara Armandt and Barbara Hughes (program coordinator/director of events of The SPARK Center at BMC) were happy to pitch in with JoAnne Trask and Jessica Mewkalo to sell raffle tickets. The final deposit for SPARK was $1,000. A big thank you to all for your donations to the SPARK center with the raffle, especially Jeff Loreaux of Donnegan Systems (last year's 50/50 winner, who gave it back). He was extremely generous again this year. He was the first ticket sale at $200 and swiped his card a couple more time to purchase tickets, plus purchased some with cash. Very kind and generous man.
The mission of the SPARK Center is to help Boston's highest-risk children to build brighter tomorrows. SPARK provides therapeutic, medically-specialized programs for children of all ages based on the philosophy that all children are resilient and able to take control of their futures. SPARK makes long-term investments in fragile children—helping them to believe in themselves, make healthy choices, cope with emotional problems, achieve in school and gain success as adults.
