The Victory Programs’ Boston Living Center’s annual Celebration of Life Holiday Party for the HIV/AIDS community returned to the Hynes Convention Center for the 30th year of the event. This year’s Peter Daniel Clark award will be presented to Daniel Faucher in recognition of his years of HIV/AIDS activism. The Brenda Bellizeare “BIG” (Better It Gets) Award went to Rob Quinn, a member of Boston Living Center, for his inspirational leadership across the State. The event attracted more than 700 guests who enjoyed live entertainment by the Back Bay Ringers, Verna Turbulence and Friends, Woza Moya and dance hits spun by DJ Ollie, a resource fair featuring more than 30 local organizations, a traditional sit down holiday meal at tables decorated with unique centerpieces designed and donated specifically for the event, family pictures with Boston Santa and winter readiness kits provided by Bank of America and Temple Beth Avodah. The event serves as the largest fundraiser of the year for vital services at the Boston Living Center and is projected to raise more than $130,000.
