Don’t miss this magical evening where we tell (nearly) 1,000 stories!
Our annual gala, Night of 1,000 Stories, returns to City Winery with more lively student stories, delicious food and drink, and a chance to meet fellow Bostonians who want to make a difference. We’ll also have plenty of fun ways to support Boston students in grades K-12 to share their stories and amplify their voices.
Join us for an inspiring evening, featuring renowned journalist, podcast host, and CNN contributor Kara Swisher! We will also honor NBC Boston‘s Glenn Jones with our “Changing the Narrative” Award.
