This March, we had our annual Boston Public Schools Best Buddies Ball! Students came from all over Boston for an inclusive morning of dancing and fun. Held at the TRACK at New Balance, hundreds and students danced their hearts out, created memories in our photobooth, made and swapped friendship bracelets, and enjoyed an incredible lunch. We love seeing students celebrate inclusion and friendship!

Program Manager, Maya Wernick, says “our BPS students had an amazing time at the Ball. Many describe it as the ‘best day of the year’–bringing the BPS Best Buddies community together helps to build friendships, but also helps to uplift the students’ sense of belonging.”

We would love to thank Whitney’s, the TRACK at New Balance, Flour Bakery, Tatte Bakery, Rail Stop Restaurant, and Roche Bros Market for their generous contributions to the event.

We are so proud of all of our BPS chapters!

Thank you to Illiana Ochoa and Jamie Perkins for these amazing pictures of the students enjoying the day!
