More than 1,500 guests attended the 23rd Annual Steppin’ Out for The Dimock Center. The evening was a huge success, largely due to the support of our individual guests and corporate sponsors. We would like to send a special thanks to The TJX Companies for serving as this year’s presenting sponsor.
Steppin’ Out helps to provide unrestricted operational dollars that support Dimock’s many programs and services. Our supporters help to make a difference in the lives of the families who rely on The Dimock Center every day.
The event was co-chaired by Fletcher “Flash” Wiley and Bennie Wiley, who were joined by honorary co-chairs Governor Deval Patrick & Diane Patrick, and Mayor Thomas M. Menino and Angela Menino. Our VIP Program emcees, Latoyia Edwards of NECN and Bob Oakes of WBUR helped to make the evening a special treat for all of our guests.
Save the Date!
We hope that you will join us for the 24th Annual Steppin’ Out for Dimock at the Westin Copley Place on October 29, 2011.
