Nearly 1,000 guests attended the 12^th annual Boston Winter Ball on Saturday February 8, 2020, to support the Corey C. Griffin Foundation inside a glamourous ballroom at the Fairmont Copley Plaza. The sold-out event raised $1.6 million to improve the quality of life for Boston area children in need through the Foundation’s healthcare and education programs.

The Boston Winter Ball is an annual black-tie event that caters to social and civically minded young professionals in the Boston area. In its 12-year history, the Boston Winter Ball has established itself as not only one of the most anticipated events on Boston’s social calendar, but also a destination event – with attendees joining us from all over the country. Founded in 2009 by young Boston College graduates – the vision was to bring together like-minded Millennials to network and support their communities by promoting philanthropy and volunteerism. The event has raised over $1 million each of the past 6 years.

The lavish evening’s festivities kicked-off with a dinner to honoring sponsors and supporters where Suffolk Construction Chairman and CEO John Fish was presented with the 2020 Corey C. Griffin Humanitarian Award. The foundation also recognized Daunte Pean with the Courage Award and Will Maich with the Outstanding Philanthropist Award. The special honors were followed by an epic dance party, sweet treats and cocktails, five-star entertainment and a fun photo booth.
