Dear Ms. Shore,
Thank you for supporting the 11th Annual Men of Boston Cook for Women’s Health Gala Fundraiser on September 27th with your silent auction donation.
Since 1995 Men of Boston has been a critical source of funding for women’s health programs at two of Boston’s most respected community health centers, Codman Square Health Center and Dorchester House Multi-Service Center.
With your support and the support of so many others, nearly 1,000 guests were treated to an extraordinary array of food, music and auction. Auction items ranged from Patriots, Red Sox and concert tickets to lunch with Boston’s Mayor, Thomas M. Menino.
By all accounts it was both a memorable and fun evening for all who participated, as well as a financial success. Your donation helped to raise over $240,000 to serve women’s health needs at all stages of their lives. We could not have done it without you and hope that you will visit our website www.menofboston.com/gallery for photos of this special evening.
Our CEOs, Bill Walczak of Codman Square Health Center and Joel Abams of Dorchester House Multi-Service Center, join members of our health centers and boards in sending our sincere thanks for your support. Of course, we welcome feedback on the event.
Lastly, we hope you will save the date of September 25, 2008 for the 12th Annual Men of Boston Cook for Women’s Health Gals Fundraiser.
With warmest wishes and thanks,
Henry A. Goodrow, Chief Development Officer
