Who are we?

Italian Home for Children is a 105-year-old nonprofit that promotes the growth and well-being of youth, adults, and families with social, emotional, behavioral, and educational needs through a broad range of specialized services. This unique continuum of care includes in-home therapy, therapeutic after school and vacation week programs, a special education school, an intensive group home, and many more life-saving programs. To learn more, follow us on Facebook and Instagram, and visit italianhome.org.

Why Italian Home?

The demand for Italian Home for Children's services has never been greater. Our care often extends beyond the model reimbursed by insurance and state agencies. This extra support provided to youth and families is not billable, however is critical to the success of the children and families we work with to avoid future hospitalizations and, ultimately, save lives. Your generosity to the gala directly impacts those we serve, helps us increase the number of lives we impact, and bridges the fiscal gap this organization faces every year.

Frequently Asked Questions

What if I do drive and promise to drink responsibly? Is there parking?

Yes, there is FREE parking available right next to Dorchester Brewing Company, at Plumbers & Gasfitters UA Local 12
(1240 Massachusetts Ave, Dorchester, MA 02125).

Where will the event be held?

The event will be held at Dorchester Brewing Company, located at 1250 Massachusetts Ave, Boston, MA 02125. We have the entire second level of Dorchester Brewing Company reserved for the event. This includes the indoor "Hopservatory" and the outdoor deck (weather permitting).

How will I locate the event upon arrival?

When you enter DBCo, let them know you're there for the Italian Home event. They'll check your ID and give you a wristband. Walk straight ahead, and someone on the second floor will greet you and check you in for the event. Don't forget to purchase raffle tickets at registration! Then you can go upstairs and enjoy the food, drinks, and company!

What do tickets include?

Your ticket to the event includes 1 drink ticket and light fare from M&M BBQ. Dorchester Brewing Company offers a diverse selection of beers, ciders, seltzers, and wine for your enjoyment. We do ask that you enjoy responsibly and encourage you to take public transportation or an Uber/Lyft home.

Is my ticket to the event tax-deductible?

No. The fair market value of the ticket equals the admission cost. Therefore, there is no tax-deductible portion of the ticket. However, any donation you make while at the event will be tax-deductible!

When I donate to Italian Home for Children, what does it support?

The short answer? Your donation helps us provide care to youth and families. The longer answer is that we work with youth who have emotional, behavioral, and educational challenges. No two kiddos are the same. Some might need to move on campus with us to get the help they need. Others might be fine to stay in their home while working with a clinician to champion their challenges. We provide a spectrum of services that fit the needs of youth in the area. To help families receive these services, donations from folks, like you, are crucial. To learn more about the work we do, follow us on Facebook and Instagram, and visit italianhome.org.

What should I wear?

Business casual and comfortable.
