2014 Boston Celtics Shamrock Foundation Tip-Off Gala Recap

On October 23, 2014, members of our Charity by Design team attended the annual Boston Celtics Shamrock Foundation Tip-Off Gala in support of our partner. The elegant, formal affair was held at the Westin Waterfront Hotel in Boston, Massachusetts. This was our second year attending the event and we enjoyed meeting the players and other sponsors of the foundation.

The Boston Celtics’ Tip-Off Gala raises funds for the Shamrock Foundation and teases the upcoming season. The charity helps the city in several ways such as assisting the Boys and Girls Clubs of Boston, frequently visiting Boston Children’s Hospital, and offering unique programs for kids.

The foundation members were excited to update everyone on the strides they’d been able to make due to generous donations from partners like ALEX AND ANI. Dave Hoffman, Boston Celtics Director of Community Relations, stated, “With the help of partners like you, Boston Celtics Shamrock Foundation and our team was able to give the students at Harvard-Kent Elementary School in Charlestown a brand new state-of-the-art technology lab complete with 30 new Mac Minis, a 70” TV to serve as a wireless projector with Apple TV connectivity, customized wall graphics and new furniture.” We were excited to also learn that the Boston Celtics draft picks were on hand to unveil the space to the school community this past June.

Jason Gallagher, Principal of Harvard-Kent Elementary School, is confident that the computer lab will become a place of creativity, learning, and exploration for the students and staff of the school and thanks the Boston Celtics for its generosity saying “having the best computer lab in the City of Boston allows our students to have access to the most updated technology, which they can use to improve their reading, writing, and math skills through online educational programs.”

Our Charity by Design division partnered with the Boston Celtics Shamrock Foundation in March of 2013 with the launch of the Celtic Knot charm, where 20% of sales goes back to the organization. This helps them extend their dedication to the community through programs that directly benefit children in need. “We are so thrilled to have a partner that shares our commitment to the community,” Hoffman added.

Since the launch, Charity by Design has been able to raise over $329,000 for the Boston Celtics Shamrock Foundation. We are truly humbled and thank our fans for their support!
