No better way to chill out in July! ❄️ A group of Bridgewell residents from Independent Living went to see Frozen at the North Shore Music Theatre. These tickets were purchased with funds raised from Bridgewell’s Imagine the Possibilities Gala Fund a Need auction. Thank you to our donors who helped make this dream come true for these residents! These social outings help make sure no one is ice-olated and stay a part of the community. ❄️

Yesterday, Institutional Giving Manager Brad Gosselin represented Bridgewell at the 2024 Health & Wellness Fair, "The Road to Better Health" hosted by Cityblock Health & Tufts Health Plan at Lawrence's Campagnone Common Park!

Earlier this summer, Bridgewell resident John attended the WWE Monday Night Raw in Boston with his Residential Director Sean Maguire. These tickets were purchased with funds raised from Bridgewell’s Imagine the Possibilities Gala Fund a Need auction. Thank you to our donors who helped make this dream come true for John! TD Garden even upgraded the seats, so they were able to see all the action up close and personal. John had the time of his life!
