On November 15, more than 400 guests gathered at the InterContinental Boston in a remarkable show of support for the students of NECC. The evening, which raised $1.27 million, was a celebration of growth, opportunity, and the transformative impact of NECC’s vocational program.
After a long hiatus due to the pandemic, a special partnership between NECC and St. Mark’s School in Southborough has made its return. This collaboration, which had been in place for several years before the pandemic, was designed to foster meaningful connections between the high school students from St. Mark’s and NECC.
Nathan Weinberger has always felt a deep connection to NECC. His aunt, Rebecca Geller, attended NECC (then ERI) from the age of 15 until she was 21, while his grandfather, Mickey Geller, was a dedicated and active board member for many years. Now, Weinberger is a Boston Marathon finisher, and he did it for Team NECC, carrying forward his family’s legacy of support.
For the last six years, Matt Maloney has dedicated himself to making a difference in the lives of children with autism at NECC. For Maloney, who currently works as a level 2 teacher in NECC’s Intensive Instructional Program (IIP), being able to help others is something he’s passionate about.
