The Hundred Club Holiday Party was held in person on December 11 for the first time since 2019. It was a wonderful event filled with activities from Santa and the Grinch, caricature artists, balloon animals and so more. A special performance by the Boston Children’s Choir was a wonderful addition to the party. The event also gave the families the opportunity to reconnect with the each other.

Nearly 200 beneficiaries and their families attended the event.
