The Ninth Annual Valentine Brunch was our best yet!

Thank you for making Project Place’s Ninth Annual Valentine Gospel Brunch
most successful event to date! With the help of generous sponsors, guests,
auction item donors and bidders we raised $160,000 to support our job-training
and housing programs for homeless men and women -- Thank you!


On February 12, Project Place hosted our Ninth Annual Valentine Gospel Brunch at the Boston Park Plaza Hotel and Towers. David Brown, reporter and meteorologist, returned to emcee the event, which featured Jerome Kyles and the Morning Star Baptist Church Choir, a video produced by Mike Lee and directed by Rick DeGregorio, an auction led by John Terrio of Auction Knights, and Rachel Gomes, Project Place alumna and former Partners-At-Work award recipient.

Honored guests Mayor and Mrs. Menino joined Jody Trail of Jody Trail Designs and Barry DeCosta of Wells & Fox, who chaired this year’s festivities. Guests, auction item donors, bidders, and sponsors raised $160,000 to support Project Place job-training and housing programs for homeless men and women. Thanks to all for sharing in this heart-warming morning of music, community of fun!
