The 2013 Adams Benefit will be held at the Museum of Fine Arts. Guests will enjoy gourmet food and drinks while listening to live music and exploring the MFA’s “Art of the America’s” wing, and the season’s visiting exhibit “Mario Testino: In Your Face”.

In 2012, the Adams Benefit raised over $600,000 to fund public service programs benefitting veteran’s services, housing and homelessness, domestic violence, immigration issues and more. Click here to learn about our 2012 grantees.

Each year at the Adams Benefit the BBF honors a member of the Boston business community the Public Service Award. This award was created to honor a business leader who has demonstrated extraordinary efforts of time and talent to public service. This year’s Public Service Award honoree will be Carol Fulp, President and CEO of The Partnership, INC.
