Dear Friends,

Each year, the Champion Reception is a time to honor our BAA Champions – individuals in our community that believe in the students of Boston Arts Academy. This year, we are excited to honor Commonwealth of Massachusetts Governor Charlie Baker and Maristela Rapo, President and Founder of Giving The Glam. Both Charlie and Maristela believe in our students' potential and providing opportunity where talent exists.

It's been a tough year for the students, from food insecurity to struggling with anxiety and depression; though our students continue to persevere. In addition to celebrating Boston's most iconic rock bands, the premiere screening of the student performance will also feature remarkable new works by BAA students surviving, conquering and flourishing during the pandemic, through their art as part of the Bringing Back the Arts segment of the show.

I hope you can join us in person for the Champion Reception at Roxbury Community College on Friday, February 4, 2022. The event will take place at the Commons (Building 3) from 5:30-7:30 p.m.

Please note: we will be following City of Boston and RCC guidelines regarding COVID-19 to ensure the safety of our guests.

If you'd like to sponsor or buy an ad in the program book, please email me at cdurkin@baafdn.​org ASAP.

Tickets to the Champions Reception ($100 each) can be purchased here. There's a limited amount of spots left, so grab your Reception tickets today!

Gratefully,

Caitlin Durkin
