Twelfth Annual "Leave No One Behind" Dinner To Benefit New England Center for Homeless Veterans

"Leave No One Behind" Dinner and Auction to be held at the Seaport Hotel on November 6, 2014

The twelfth annual “Leave No One Behind Gala” will be held at the Seaport Hotel on November 6, 2014 to benefit the New England Center for Homeless Veterans. The reception and silent auction will begin at 6 PM, followed by a live auction to kick off the night while dinner is being served at 7 PM.

During the program a Battlefield Citation award will be presented to US Air Force Veteran and former NECHV client Barbara Barnes, and The Home Depot will be recognized as this year’s Corporate Partner Honoree. The annual Distinguished Service for Veterans Award will be presented posthumously to Brian Brooks. New England Cable News Anchor Mike Nikitas will be Master of Ceremonies for the event.

The New England Center for Homeless Veterans is a nationally recognized leader in the initiative to end homelessness among Veterans and one of the most effective private Veteran transition programs in the country. Leave No One Behind is an annual fundraising event that is held to support the Center’s education and training center, capital needs and clinical support services. The event is a celebration of the successful transition of many Veterans and a means of ensuring the future of the Center’s services to those who follow. Unfortunately, that need is growing every day, driven by a new generation of Veterans returning from the conflicts in Iraq and Afghanistan.
