Get Dressed. Give Back – a Fabulous Night for a Fabulous Cause

Oct 5, 2022

On September 30, NEADS celebrated its 7th Get Dressed. Give Back. fundraiser at The Exchange in Boston’s seaport district. It was an amazing night thanks to the many NEADS friends and supporters  who came, donated, and took part in this “fabulous event for a fabulous cause.”

We were pleased to welcome host Keith McGilvery, Fox 61 (back by popular demand), keynote speaker Boston Duck Tours CEO Cindy Brown, and client speaker Melissa Moore and NEADS Service Dog for Hearing Ronnie.

Thank you also to Martin & Kelly for providing live music, the vendors who hosted the pop-up shops, the NEADS Service Dog teams, volunteer Puppy Raisers, and everyone else who shopped, dipped, bid on silent auction items, and supported the event in so many ways.
