The New England Technology Foundation (NE Technology Foundation) today announced that its 13th annual charity fundraising event will be held on Friday, November 3rd at the new Westin Waterfront Hotel in Boston. The evening will be full of food, gaming, entertainment and networking -- all supporting children's charities throughout New England.
The theme of the night's activities is "Open Your Heart for Kids." Event highlights include:
* A high stakes Texas Hold'em Poker Tournament
* Casino games, including blackjack and roulette wheels
* Live band
* Silent auction
* Awards, including the Foundation presenting its third "Lifetime
Achievement Award" to a charity that has consistently made a difference
in the lives of New England's children.
The event has already attracted BainCapital as a sponsor. Said Mark Verdi of BainCapital, "We've been a proud sponsor of the New England Technology Foundation for a number of years. Their work on behalf of children has been remarkably effective, as they bring together companies to fundraise for local kid's charities that have limited fundraising capabilities of their own."
There are a variety of sponsorship opportunities for companies interested in supporting the event and the NE Technology Foundation's mission. Individual tickets are available as well. Easy, secure on-line registration for the event and poker tournament, sponsorship and donations is available at http://www.netechfoundation.org.
"Attending this event directly helps charities helping children," Carolyn Macedo, president of the NE Technology Foundation. "The NE Technology Foundation supports an underserved market -- small, grass roots charities meeting the social, medical, and educational needs of children. The Foundation's grants provide funding for operations and growth projects for these charities that truly make a difference in the lives of children."
