Giving Back: The Italian Home for Children

Here at SD Events we love to support local charities that are doing everything they can to give back to the community and at-risk populations.  The Italian Home for Children, in Jamaica Plain caught our eye because of the amazing work they do for children in the Boston area.  Since 1919 The Italian Home has been helping children ages 4-14 who suffer from mental instabilities and issues that have been brought on by awful experiences in their personal lives, be it at school, at home or in the community in which they were raised.  It offers troubled youth individual therapy as well as academic education in order to achieve their mission of assisting children with any guidance or nurturing they may need. Without such an incredible place such as this, many of these children would be left hoping for the framework of a better life that The Italian Home has provided for many generations of children.

Every year the Italian Home hosts The City Lights Gala an incredible event that supports the children.  Last Year's Gala, held at the Intercontinental in Boston, had over 500 guests in attendance and raised $350,000 for the children who rely on The Italian Home.  We are looking forward to the 2012 City Lights Gala - it is sure to be another fantastic event.
