Tuesday, September 21 – Gibson House Annual Benefit

by

We are very happy to announce that the Gibson House Museum will hold its Annual Benefit—IN PERSON!—on Tuesday, September 21, 2021 at Boston’s St. Botolph Club. The honoree will be the Neighborhood Association of the Back Bay, which has worked tirelessly for over 65 years to preserve Back Bay’s architectural beauty and residential character. We had hoped to honor the association at last year’s canceled Benefit, and look forward to doing so this year.

The Benefit is our major fundraising event, and this year we will celebrate with a “Roaring Twenties” theme. The party will feature drinks, food, trivia, and music and dancing from the 1920s. We’ll also offer fun ’20s-themed raffle items for you to take a chance on.

Information regarding Benefit sponsorships has been mailed, and invitations will be sent later this summer. Sponsorship opportunities and tickets may also be purchased here.
