B.A.A. Gives Back

B.A.A. Gives Back Celebration is the Boston Athletic Association’s signature fundraising event. Dedicated to raising support for the B.A.A.’s community initiatives, this annual benefit evening celebrates individuals and organizations who exemplify the values of the B.A.A. by presenting the Patriots’ Award and The Dick & Rick Hoyt Award. Those we honor have had a profound, sustained, and revolutionary impact on the B.A.A. and the communities we serve.
