Thank you for supporting PBHA’s
22nd annual SUP Auction
On Friday, April 18th, the PBHA and Summer Urban Program (SUP) community came together to celebrate the campers, families, students, staff, partners, and neighborhoods that make SUP so full of #SUPLove!
Rooted in this year’s theme—“Serving with Love, Rooted in Community”—the evening honored the deep relationships and shared commitment that fuel our work each summer and beyond.
Thanks to your support, at the 22nd Annual SUP Auction, we were able to raise…
$151,657
We’re deeply grateful to everyone who attended, donated, bid, shared, and supported the SUP Auction. Your generosity makes it possible for over 700 children across Boston and Cambridge to experience a joyful, empowering summer led by dedicated student leaders.
Thank you for being part of the SUP family and standing with us in service and solidarity. We can’t wait for another amazing summer!
