On Tuesday, October 25, 2022, the New England Center and Home for Veterans (NECHV) will host the 20th annual Leave No One Behind Gala, taking place virtually and in-person at The Westin Boston Seaport District.  For 19 years, this event has generated nearly $7 million in critical financial support to the NECHV, making a substantial impact on our ability to be a national leader in providing housing and serving the Veteran community with first-rate, professional care and services to Veterans who are experiencing a vulnerable period in their lives. We are proud that this is the 20th Anniversary of our Gala!

This year the Gala will honor Jim Carmody, former General Manager of the Seaport Hotel, with the Distinguished Service to Veterans award. As former Chair of the Leave No One Behind Committee, Jim devoted over 20 years to this event giving passionately to make it a tremendous success year after year.

As we gather in-kind items and gifts for the Gala, we are looking for partners to make this event the best in Boston. Your donated item will go a long way in ensuring this year’s auction is our most successful yet.

The NECHV is one of the nation’s most prominent private community-based providers of human services to Veterans who are experiencing challenges following their military service. Now in its fourth decade of service, the NECHV is a private institution with a very public mission of offering a broad array of programs and services that enable success, reintegration, meaningful employment, and independent living. All proceeds raised by this event will directly support and enable the NECHV to offer critical, life-changing services desperately needed by the men and women who have proudly worn a uniform in defense of our Nation. Your participation recognizes and celebrates their extraordinary and selfless contributions for the protection of us all.

Your name will be featured prominently in auction-related publications, both in print and electronically, and will be seen by over 600 participants both online and in-person, many of whom are among Boston’s most important business leaders. Recognizing that you receive a great number of charitable requests each year, we hope you will judge the merits of our work highly and consider supporting Leave No One Behind.
