EAST BOSTON — The Manassah E. Bradley Elementary School hosted its annual fundraising gala, “A Night of Possibility,” on Thursday, April 9, at the Reel House overlooking Boston Harbor.
More than 170 guests attended the event to celebrate Bradley Elementary’s recent recognition as the 2025 School on the Move and 2024 Distinguished School and to support continued programming at the school. Families, school administrators, Boston Public Schools staff, and community leaders gathered for an evening that featured cocktail bites, signature drinks, a silent auction, and raffles.
State Representative Adrian Madaro and Instructional Coach McKenzie Powers energized the crowd as they encouraged guests to participate in the auction and raffle, helping raise funds to benefit the school.
“This event reflects the strength of our school community and the shared commitment to our students’ success,” said Principal Claire Carney. “We are deeply grateful for the generosity and support shown by everyone who attended.”
The school extended special thanks to its event partners and contributors, including Reel House East Boston, DJ Juan of OXO Events and Jessica of Blue Butterfly Photography, as well as the organizing committee, Christine Doherty, Keeley Fanuele, Suleima Chan, Lisa Cappuccio, Diana Munera, Bridget Heigelmann, Jordan Zimmerman, Kacthary Sanclemente, Jenny Sanabria and Adrian Madaro whose efforts made the evening possible.
