The 2026 Grow Associates, Inc. Annual Gala was held last Friday, June 5 at The Tirrell Room in Quincy, and was a tremendous success as more than 300 guests came together to celebrate community, inclusion, and impact.

From the moment guests arrived, the evening was filled with laughter, inspiration, generosity, great food, music, dancing, and meaningful connections.

Most importantly, it was an opportunity to celebrate the incredible individuals, staff, families, supporters, and community partners who make GROW Associates such a special place.

We were proud to honor:

💙 **Kelsie Walker - CBDS Case Manager**, recipient of the Heart of GROW Staff Award

🌟 **Danny H.**, recipient of the CBDS Program Inspiration Award

🌟 **Jiji M.**, recipient of the DAY HAB Program Inspiration Award

Each of these honorees exemplifies the spirit, dedication, perseverance, and leadership that inspire our GROW community every day.

A heartfelt thank you to our sponsors, donors, volunteers, Board of Directors, Gala Planning Committee, staff, families, friends, and supporters for helping make this our most successful Gala to date.

We are also grateful to Mike Ramos for serving as our outstanding host, DJ Baltazar Ibanez for keeping the celebration going all evening, and The Tirrell Room for providing such a wonderful experience for our guests.
