Boston's Business Community Gathers at Bottom Line's Ninth Annual Get In, Graduate and Go Far Dinner

Bottom Line Massachusetts—the local headquarters of a national nonprofit organization helping low-income and first-generation students get in to college and graduate—hosted the ninth annual Get In, Graduate and Go Far Dinner on Tuesday, April 8.

Boston’s marquee business leaders joined the education community and students, supporting the fundraiser’s theme of “Workforce Development” in celebration of the organization’s monumental milestone: the 1,000th Bottom Line student slated to graduate and enter the workforce this spring.

The event was a tremendous success, raising an incredible $886,163. These funds will help hundreds more students from the community receive Bottom Line's one-on-one support through college.
