2012 SCORES Celebration

The 2012 SCORES Celebration
The 2012 SCORES Celebration, the annual gala event of America SCORES Boston, will be held on Thursday, September 27th at the historic Cyclorama at the Boston Center for the Arts in the vibrant South End neighborhood.  Attended by hundreds of area professionals in 2011, this event will once again feature food from premier Boston area restaurants as well as appearances from local soccer stars.

With performances from America SCORES Boston's poet-athletes, a small-sided field for soccer activities, and appearances from professional soccer stars, this is sure to be an evening filled with inspirational stories and enthusiastic entertainment.  All are welcome to attend, especially long-time America SCORES supporters, those who wish to learn more about the America SCORES program, and anyone looking to have a good time.  The Celebration is a great opportunity to network with local business leaders and Boston philanthropists, as well as to enjoy a night out with friends and co-workers – all while supporting a great cause!

Your ticket purchase includes World Cup inspired dishes from celebrated soccer countries around the globe as well as a complimentary drink ticket.  Those with VIP status receive additional drink tickets and automatic entry into our VIP Raffle.  All guests are encouraged to participate in interactive soccer exhibitions and experience live poetry performance.  The night will also include a cash donation bar and a live auction.
