The Genesis Foundation for Children hosted its First Annual Founder’s Gala on Friday, April 28th, 2017 at 6:00 PM at the Hyatt Regency Boston. With your help, this event raised over $200,000 to benefit The Genesis Foundation for Children – exceeding expectations!
It is the commitment and generosity of our sponsors, donors, and friends that enables The Genesis Foundation for Children to support programs so that children born with rare diseases and genetic disorders receive the diagnosis and care necessary to maximize their potential. This funding will continue to help families across New England for years to come. None of this could have been accomplished without this support- thank you!
