The Butterfly Benefit is a celebration of hope, healing, and the incredible power of community. In its second year, the Benefit is returning to the Riverwalk Brewing and Taproom in Newburyport, MA. on May 16th for what promises to be another extraordinary evening in support of our cause. Building on the outstanding success of last year's inaugural event -  with hundreds of online bidders, over 200 attendees, and a sold-out venue - we are once again hosting a night consisting of culinary delights, delicious craft brews, raffle prizes, a live and online auction (week of event), great company, and live music! The night also envelopes our community in our unique brand of Love Bus love. Our attendees get to witness first-hand how their support affects our families, as they hear from Love Bus parents, meet the Love Bus staff and Board, and reflect on the power of art therapy through our Love Bus Children’s Art Exhibit (though the event is only for adults)! 

The Butterfly Benefit has proven to be a vital fundraising event - thanks to the generosity of local businesses like yours, who donated auction items and sponsored the event, we not only met, but surpassed our fundraising goals last year! The Benefit generates essential financial support but also creates a platform for the community to come together, rallying behind a cause that profoundly impacts the lives of these courageous children and their families.
