LOOP DREAMS 2024 Recap: A Night to Remember!

We are thrilled to announce that the inaugural LOOP DREAMS event, held on October 18th, was a resounding success! We met our goal of raising $55,000, thanks to our fundraising committee, the DREAM TEAM, and supporters. With a full house and an incredible atmosphere, the night featured special video messages from Governor Maura Healey and Mayor Michelle Wu, both of whom shared inspiring words about the power of creativity, community, and equity.

We extend our heartfelt thanks to all our sponsors, donors, and volunteers for making this event possible. A special shout-out to GBH for hosting us and to the dedicated volunteers from State Street who helped make the night run smoothly. We are immensely proud of our staff, students, and alumni, whose hard work and talents were on full display throughout the event.

If you couldn’t attend this year, don’t worry—LOOP DREAMS will be back next year, and we’re already planning another unforgettable experience. Stay tuned for more details!

Thank you again for your support, and we can’t wait to see you at the next LOOP DREAMS!
