Victory Programs’ Boston Living Center (BLC) has hosted the annual Celebration of Life Thanksgiving Dinner for nearly three decades. The tradition grew out of the isolation many individuals living with HIV felt during the height of the AIDS epidemic. Today, the event represents a wonderful evening where individuals living with HIV, and their friends and family, can come together as a community to celebrate this special holiday, with a free, full-course Thanksgiving Dinner, live entertainment, a Resource Fair and more!
Celebration of Life relies on volunteers like you, including many local celebrities and politicians. Volunteers make this special evening possible. It is also the largest fundraiser of the year for essential BLC services, thanks in large part to our volunteer TIPS Servers who raised over $48,000 in 2015!
We are looking for assistance with setting up 70 tables for this event.
Groups and individuals are welcome.
