42nd Annual Labouré Center Spring Reception

Thank You!

Thank you to everyone who joined us Thursday for the 42nd Annual Labouré Center Spring Reception. More than 200 guests gathered to raise nearly $200,000 for the life-changing programs at the Labouré Center and to honor the McNeice Foundation with the Jack Shaughnessy Service Award.

We are grateful that Margarete McNeice Portanova, Gabriele Shaw, and other members of the McNeice family joined us to mark their family’s deep commitment to the Labouré Center and to helping families affected by substance use disorder.

A special thank you to Labouré Advisory Board Chair Matt Wells, Event Reception Co-Chairs Kevin Galvin and John Mulcahy, Casey Shaughnessy and members of the Shaughnessy family, Lydia Polaski, State Representative David Biele, and State Senator Nick Collins, who read a citation to the McNeice family.

Funds raised through Spring Reception will help families from South Boston and surrounding neighborhoods access vital services as they work toward self-sufficiency. Thank you to all the sponsors, donors, community partners, and auctioneer Tom Tinlin, who led a lively auction to raise funds for Labouré and the Sister Maryadele Legacy Fund.
