ABOUT

Children of Promise Gala 2023

The Children of Promise Gala brings together NECC families, friends, and donors for a night of inspiration and philanthropy. The event began as the “Night of Music” in 2001 and has since transformed into a night that features live music, awards, and an auction benefitting NECC. Since its creation, attendees and sponsors have raised over $11 million.

GREAT SUCCESS!

The 2023 gala was a tremendous success, bringing $1.2 million to support NECC’s research program. Held at the InterContinental Boston, this year’s event honored members of the NECC/Western New England University research faculty, illustrated the positive effects of the Early Markers of Autism research study (now in its 5th year and showing promise) and celebrated the new President and CEO, Dr. Jessica Sassi, BCBA-D, LABA. A record 438 attended the event. We can’t wait to see everyone again next year!
