Thank you for supporting the 2012 We Are Boston Gala, held on Tuesday, December 4, 2012. This event attracted nearly one thousand friends and supporters, from diverse communities, that come together to recognize the remarkable and diverse talents that have made immigrants so integral to the fabric of our city.

Your generosity helps to support 25 English for Speakers of Other Languages (ESOL) programs that serve over 1,000 adult immigrants across the city, as well as the New Bostonians Summit Initiative that addresses the three key challenges identified by our immigrant communities: ESOL, Jobs, and K-12 Education.
