Bridgewell is pleased to announce we raised more than $285,000 at our recent Imagine the Possibilities Gala at the Seaport Hotel in Boston on November 4, 2011.
Channel 5 Eyeopener’s Bianca de la Garza hosted this year’s gala, which featured a silent auction and a live and lively auction featuring exotic trips, sports events and more. The auction, ticket sales and sponsorships accounted for the success of the event, which was attended by 320 people.
Bridgewell’s 2011 Visionary Leadership Award was presented to Lieutenant Governor Tim Murray for his longtime efforts to provide housing opportunities for the homeless and for individuals with developmental disabilities.

The Excellence in Service Award recognized legendary sportscaster Bob Lobel for his off-air charity work, for Children’s Hospital, The Genesis Fund and, for 15 years, the Charles River Center, serving people with developmental disabilities.
The event’s success is largely contributed to our donors, guests and Gala sponsors, especially Integrity Sponsors Citizens Bank and McGrath Enterprises, and Advocate Sponsor Caruso and McGovern, Construction, Inc. Thank you to all our sponsors, donors and Gala guests!
“We are thrilled by the outpouring of support for the people whom Bridgewell serves,” said President and CEO Bob Stearns. “The Gala’s incredible success is a recognition that those individuals are truly society’s most vulnerable. Donors recognize the importance of investing in our mission to allow for those with disabilities and other life challenges to develop to their fullest potential.”
