THE JOHN
& ABIGAIL ADAMS BENEFIT BALL
BBF 2007 Adams Ball--a Great Success! Event Raised over $580,000!
The BBF's 2007 John & Abigail Adams Benefit Ball, which was held on October 20, 2007, was a tremendous success. With 600+ members of the legal and business communities in attendance, this great BBF annual fundraising gala raised over $580,000. Proceeds of the Adams Benefit Ball are used for immediate grants to civil legal aid organizations that serve low income individuals in Greater Boston; support the Community Affairs initiatives of the Boston Bar Association; and further the philanthropic and outreach work of the Boston Bar Foundation.
Thank you to this year's Event Chair Lawrence S. DiCara of Nixon Peabody LLP and to all the members of the 2007 Event Committee for their commitment and dedication to making this event a success, and congratulations to this year's distinguished Public Service Award recipient, Paul Guzzi, President and CEO of the Greater Boston Chamber of Commerce, for that well-deserved honor.
