Our Mosaic Gala, our annual fundraiser, exceeded our wildest expectations, raising a record amount of support for the children, families, and adults we serve - more than $420,000!  Held on Friday, April 26, 2024, at Artists For Humanity in Boston, it drew a sold-out crowd of more than 300. Jennifer Penate, WCVB-TV weekend anchor, hosted the event, which included remarks by President and CEO Susan Keays and Board Chair James Dowling. A brief video discussed how the diversity of our staff and those we serve bolster our mission.

Guests enjoyed a cocktail reception, dinner, an open bar, dancing, and live and silent auctions. The evening's vibe was joyful, contemporary, and young. People danced until closing time, and, throughout the night, many mentioned that this was "the best Gala ever."

Thank you to everyone who supported the Italian Home for Children Gala, including our generous sponsors, guests, and in-kind donors.  Photos from the Gala, courtesy of Mike Mejia, can be found here.

Who are we?

Over 100 years ago, Italian Home for Children was founded to help the most vulnerable young people in the community - Italian-American children orphaned by the great flu pandemic. Today, we promote the resilience and well-being of youth, adults, and families - of all backgrounds - facing mental health and educational challenges. We offer a broad range of life-saving programs for children other agencies often cannot assist.

Why Italian Home?

The demand for Italian Home for Children's services has never been greater. There is a waitlist for almost every program and thousands of people wait to receive the care they deserve. In addition, our care often extends beyond the model reimbursed by insurance and state agencies. This extra support provided to youth and families is not billable, however is critical to the success of the children and families we work with to avoid future hospitalizations and, ultimately, save lives. Your generosity to the gala directly impacts those we serve, helps us increase the number of lives we impact, and bridges the fiscal gap this organization faces every year.
