Marriott Courtyard Downtown | Boston | April 25, 2019
MassEquality’s signature event gathered nearly 150 guests in support of the organization’s mission, and celebrated the exceptional leadership, voice and advocacy of those working to improve the lives of the LGBTQ community. This year, MassEquality honored the openly LGBTQ members of the Massachusetts legislature and the historic victory of the Yes on 3 Campaign. Rep. Kay Khan received special recognition for her leadership and advocacy. Special guest emcee, former Rep. Carl Sciortino, introduced the award winners, adding his personal reflections on each honoree’s career and accomplishments. This year’s event included a VIP cocktail reception, dinner and awards ceremony, and featured live entertainment and an exciting auction in the Courtyard’s beautifully restored Empire Ballroom. Members of Boston Roller Derby raised the energy to full blast as they skated around the room to collect donations and add excitement to the bidding.
