CELEBRATING OUR 70 ANNIVERSARY! TH
2021 marked our 70th year of service to Greater Boston’s girls. Well before the Equal Pay Act was signed into law, the National Organization for Women was established or Title IX was implemented, Big Sister Boston was founded because no such youth mentoring organization for girls existed in Boston as it did for boys. Throughout the year, Big Sister not only celebrated our legacy as a foundational organization in the City, but also looked to the future and those who have and continue to help shape it. We honored 70 individuals, couples, and groups who have given their time, talent, or treasure over the years to invest in Greater Boston’s girls.
