Un Abrazo: BEDF's Making Connections Mixer

Un Abrazo is an evening that feels like a hug — a gathering rooted in connection, compassion, and collective care.

Hosted by the Boston Education Fund, this intimate fundraising experience invites educators, partners, and advocates to reconnect, reflect, and reimagine what belonging looks and feels like in our schools and communities.

Through storytelling, music, food, and art, we’ll honor those who remain rooted in the work and celebrate the collective growth that blooms when we show up for one another.

This special evening is co-chaired by Mayor Michelle Wu and Superintendent Mary Skipper, whose shared commitment to advancing opportunity and belonging continues to shape a stronger, more connected Boston.

Un Abrazo is a benefit to advance educational equity in Boston Public Schools. Guests are encouraged to donate in support of this work at bit.ly/Voicesofedquity

The evening will also feature a premier silent and live auction, made possible by our dedicated partners who continue to champion equity and opportunity for Boston’s students.

Highlights of the Evening:

• Photobooth: M&G LUXE Photobooth
• Activation: I Learn America & Boston International Newcomers Academy
• Live Violin Performance: Nico Shaw, Berklee College of Music
• Music by: Youth Boston
