This milestone celebration honors a decade of recognizing individuals whose leadership and generosity reflect the school’s mission to develop artist-scholars-citizens and uplift equitable access to arts education at Boston’s only public high school for&nbsp;the performing arts.&nbsp; Under the vision and leadership of Event Chair Kristen Standish, this year marks a historic first: the Champion Reception will be held inside the school itself, inviting guests into the creative spaces where Boston Arts Academy (BAA) students learn, practice, and bring their artistry to life every day. Standish, founder of RazHer, and CEO of VizSense,&nbsp;an AI-driven martech company, is also a mother to a thriving BAA student.&nbsp;&nbsp; “This 10-year milestone Champions event is truly special,” said Denella Clark, President and CEO of the Boston Arts Academy Foundation. “It brings together the celebration of exceptional leadership and civic responsibility with a breathtaking, all-student-led performance that highlights the full range of our students’ talents—from singing and dancing to lighting and production. The evening honors the supporters who help make these transformative experiences possible and showcases how a foundation in the arts shapes well-rounded, globally minded citizens. With distinguished honorees representing government, banking, healthcare, and civic leadership, it is truly a night not to be missed.” The 2026 Champion Awards will honor:<ul><li>Robert Chambers, Vice President for Strategic Engagement and Chief of Staff at Massachusetts College of Art and Design, Former Chair of the BAA Board of Trustees</li><li>Diana DiZoglio, Massachusetts State Auditor&nbsp;</li><li>Lorena Silva, CEO of Vitra Health, Board Member of BAAF &amp; Chris Herman, Executive Vice President, Head of Retirement &amp; Wealth Inspira Financial</li></ul>These distinguished honorees exemplify the spirit of community, creativity, and advocacy that has shaped BAA’s impact in Boston and beyond. “We believe that talent is distributed evenly but access is not,” says Standish. “By raising funds for Boston’s only public school for the performing arts, together with this dynamic class of Champions, we are creating a legacy of opportunity and greatness for generations to come.”&nbsp; New this year, guests will enjoy a culinary experience from a variety of the city’s top restaurants including Rochambeau, Del Frisco’s, Abe &amp; Louies and others along with celebrity chefs, mocktail lounges, and interactive activations and technological wonders from partners across the Boston community. A highlight of this year’s event will be the opening night of the student-led performance. This signature annual performance underscores the school’s commitment to both artistic excellence and creative exploration showcasing the extraordinary talent and artistic discipline that define Boston Arts Academy. The goal of the night is to raise $300K.&nbsp; The Champion Reception not only celebrates BAA’s vibrant community but is also working to raise critical funds that support scholarships, college pathway support and career enrichment, academic tutoring, mental health resources, cutting edge studios, instruments and technology,&nbsp;and the artistic training that allows students to flourish.&nbsp; Event Details: Thursday, March 19, 2026 6:00 – 9:00 PM Boston Arts Academy 174 Ipswich St, Boston, MA 02215 To purchase tickets, review sponsorship opportunities and for more information or media inquiries, please&nbsp;<a href="https://my.onecause.com/event/organizations/c3eb9d02-7a00-48b6-aab4-3b28cf319f1d/events/vevt:7377e652-ba96-43a0-8df4-d8c59e9e38ad/home/story">visit the event page here.&nbsp;</a> About the Boston Arts Academy Foundation Established in 1999, the Boston Arts Academy Foundation is an independent 501(c)(3) charitable nonprofit organization that raises essential funds from private philanthropic sources to augment the Boston Arts Academy school budget. The BAAF helps bridge the gap between the school’s allocation from the Boston Public Schools and the true cost of a high-quality education that is both art-intensive and college-preparatory. Construction of the new BAA school building in 2022 does not change BPS’s funding formula, which does not fully cover the cost of a college preparatory academic program and a competitive arts program.

The Greater Boston community is invited to gather at the Boston Public Library in Copley Square on Saturday, February 7, 2026, from 3 to 4 p.m., for a Celebration of Life honoring Rescue, an extraordinary <a href="https://neads.org/">NEADS Service Dog</a> and local hero, whose impact will reach far beyond his years. The family-friendly event is free and open to all ages. Participants can register <a href="https://bpl.bibliocommons.com/events/693c87e06f926136000aa9b0?utm_source=ig&amp;utm_medium=social&amp;utm_content=link_in_bio&amp;fbclid=PAZXh0bgNhZW0CMTEAc3J0YwZhcHBfaWQMMjU2MjgxMDQwNTU4AAGnrPEI338_RGZTr-eqoItCzeGluS7wp5Fnh_yhY5uHikHf5gfej65E9OWzpyE_aem_bC9SRE_zNcG0QLW-zufq6A">here.</a> NEADS Service Dogs, headquartered in Princeton, Mass., will be onsite to reflect on Rescue’s legacy and answer questions about the organization.

NEADS also provides Assistance/Facility Dogs for professionals in the classroom, hospital, first-responder, courthouse, and therapeutic settings. Rescue was named ASPCA Dog of the Year and was the inspiration for the New York Times bestselling Rescue &amp; Jessica: A Life-Changing Friendship. The children’s book is based on their real-life partnership and reflects their love and teamwork. In addition to changing Jessica’s life, the story of Rescue continues to inspire children and adults alike.&nbsp; The event will include a special reading of Rescue &amp; Jessica by Patrick Downes, followed by a Q&amp;A session and book signing. The program also features two guest speakers who will offer a behind-the-scenes look at the training journey that helped shape Rescue’s remarkable life: former incarcerated individual Steven Parkhurst, who helped train Rescue through NEADS’ <a href="https://neads.org/training-placement/prison-pup-program/">Prison PUP Program</a>, and Rescue’s Weekend Puppy Raiser, Sharron Kahn Luttrell. Steven trained over 20 dogs for NEADS during his time in prison and said, “It keeps the humanity in you alive.”&nbsp; This special event is designed for children who grew up loving Rescue, and for all who wish to honor his memory. Rescue's final gift is helping communities talk openly about grief and loss and how sharing stories can bring comfort and healing.&nbsp; This event will take place in Rabb Hall at the BPL Central Library. Registration is suggested but does not guarantee seating; seating will be first come, first served.&nbsp; More information can be found <a href="https://bpl.bibliocommons.com/events/693c87e06f926136000aa9b0">here</a>.&nbsp;&nbsp; About NEADS NEADS Inc. is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization located in Princeton, Massachusetts.

In 2007, Joe’s football career abruptly ended when he was diagnosed with non-Hodgkin’s Burkitt’s lymphoma. Disease-free less than a year later, Joe and Jen chose to dedicate their lives towards solving the financial distress a cancer diagnosis can cause in the lives of patients and families.

Service members and their families are invited to enjoy a celebratory midday gathering as a token of appreciation for their service during the holiday season. Seating is first-come, first-served. 1928 kindly asks that military attendees either arrive in uniform or provide a military ID upon arrival. Donations will also be accepted onsite for charitable partner,<a href="https://www.milesformilitary.org/"> Miles for Military,</a> a nonprofit which provides flights home for active-duty service members across the country so they can spend time with their families for the holidays and other ‘moments that matter.’ Service members from all branches of the military earn flights home, which they otherwise might not be able to afford, in return for volunteering at a charity of their choice.
