On Saturday, June 6, we celebrated the 2026 Beach Ball gala at the SOWA Power Station with hundreds of supporters and friends of Camp Harbor View.

Led by co-chairs Eileen Connors, Anne Finucane, D. Scott Brown, Matt Consigli, John Fish, Sonja Kellly, Joseph Nolan, Bill O’Malley, Bryan Rafanelli, Kerry Swords, Marty Walsh, Honorary Chair Governor Maura Healey, and a powerhouse fundraising committee, the event showcased the important work of CHV. This community is investing in a more equitable future, and it’s powerful to see.

During her remarks, Governor Healey reflected on major upcoming events in the Commonwealth, like the World Cup and the Tall Ships, and declared: “This is going to be a really big summer in Massachusetts…and nothing that happens this summer will be more important than what happens at Camp Harbor View.”

Other speakers during the event included CEO Sharon McNally, Executive Vice President Lisa Fortenberry, and Mayor Michelle Wu. The event was emceed by NESN’s Jenny Johnson. 

Below we’re sharing the video we premiered at the event illustrating the community and sisterhood that has formed within the walls of CHV, with interviews from members of our Parent Advisory Board. 

And you will find a full photo gallery now online from an epic evening, produced by Rafanelli Events, reflecting the many facets of CHV.

We are grateful for all who generously support Boston’s next generation leaders and their families. Together we are working to create lasting opportunity and an equitable future for our city.
