NFTE New England's' Fall Gala was a tremendous success, thanks to the support of our sponsors and donors who attended and bid in our silent auction with great generosity!

The evening festivities were enhanced by a performance from NFTE alum and pianist, Helen Yu. In addition, our volunteer of the year, Chris Everett, kicked off the night with clues to a surprise auction item, which he later revealed was a Safari Package to South Africa.

Auction items included overnight accommodations at two of Boston's premier hotels, acoustic music systems, restaurant gift certificates, a sapphire and diamond bracelet, custom tailored clothing and interior design packages.

The funds raised from this year's auction will provide our youths with opportunities that would otherwise be unavailable to them. We are building future business professionals with impact that will change the shape of our community.

Thank you for your support and attendance. We'll see you next year!
