Newton Residents Spark Hope for the YMCA of Greater Boston

The YMCA of Greater Boston recently celebrated its annual Spark Party with 250 of Boston’s prominent business and civic leaders coming together to raise $670,000 to support youth and teen programs. These critical funds create unique programming to engage teens, provide employment opportunities, decrease summer violence, and help shape Boston’s future. WBZ-TV’s David Wade emceed the event. YMCA of Greater Boston President and CEO James Morton and Boston Police Commissioner William Evans were among the featured speakers.
