The 6th Annual Rise & Shine Breakfast to benefit the families at Project Hope was truly an event not to be missed. It was wonderful to be amongst friends and supporters in the glorious harbor setting with gorgeous weather. The room seemed to float on the good will of our friends.
The breakfast included a welcome from Mayor Thomas Menino and an inspirational message from Sr. Margaret Leonard. As the program unfolded, a video showed how women in our Speakers Bureau are learning to find their voices, and guests heard how bravely the women at Project Hope struggle to change their family’s circumstances.
At the breakfast everyone was commissioned to be an Ambassador of Project Hope. By spreading the word about Project Hope's mission, we will expand our circle of support.
