MA Attorney General Andrea Joy Campbell and Jaylen Brown’s The 7uice Foundation to Be Honored Together at Trinity Boston Connects’ Gala

BOSTON, MA — April 13, 2026— Trinity Boston Connects (TBC), a nonprofit organization serving Boston’s youth through year-round racial equity, restorative justice, and healing-centered programming, will host its 19th Annual Bostonians for Youth Gala on June 4, 2026, at the Fairmont Copley Plaza. The event will honor two of Boston’s most influential voices for young people: Massachusetts Attorney General Andrea Joy Campbell and The 7uice Foundation, founded by Jaylen Brown and Mechalle Brown. 

Attorney General Campbell will receive the 2026 Leader of Change Award, recognizing an individual who is making a powerful impact in helping to create a more just and equitable Boston through critical and sustainable change. The 7uice Foundation will be honored with the inaugural Beloved Community Award
for its innovative work expanding opportunity for young people through education, technology, and community investment.

Together, these honorees represent a unique convergence of leadership across public service, professional sports, and grassroots community investment, a powerful reflection of Boston’s collective commitment to the next generation.

“Our young people are our next generation of leaders. As attorney general, and as the mom of two beautiful boys, I am fully committed to addressing the unprecedented challenges facing our youth and seeking out young voices to inform our work on issues that directly impact them,” said Attorney General Campbell. “I’m grateful to Trinity Boston Connects and The 7uice Foundation for their dedication to improving the lives of young people of color in Boston and beyond. Together we can create a more just, equitable future for every child.”

The gala’s theme, “Healing in Full Circle,” reflects the journey many young people experience through Trinity Boston Connects’ programs, beginning with belonging, deepening through connection and leadership, and returning as service to others. 

"At the 7uice Foundation, we believe that when young people are given access, support, and opportunity, they don’t just succeed, they lead,” said Mechalle Brown, President of the 7uice Foundation. “This recognition from Trinity Boston Connects reflects a shared commitment to building stronger, more equitable communities by investing in the brilliance and potential of our youth." 

The evening will unite leaders from across Boston’s civic, business, philanthropic, and nonprofit communities to celebrate the leaders and organizations helping shape a more just and hopeful future for Boston’s young people.

“To have Attorney General Campbell and the 7uice Foundation recognized together in the same evening speaks to the breadth of leadership required to support young people in our city,” said Charmane Higgins, Executive Director of Trinity Boston Connects. “From public leadership to community investment, their work reflects what is possible when people with influence use their platforms to create opportunity for the next generation.”

Leading the evening’s festivities is Paris Alston, host of Rooted at GBH News.

Now in its 19th year, the Bostonians for Youth Gala has become one of Boston’s signature gatherings focused on youth leadership and community healing. Proceeds from the event support Trinity Boston Connects’ youth programs, which provide leadership development, social-emotional learning, and community-building opportunities for young people across Boston.

It’s a night of whimsy with music inspired by games. In Mozart’s Musikalisches Würfelspiel, dice rolls from our audience will determine the structure of the piece! We’ll dust off our old, battery powered, primary colored Simon game to perform Nicole Lizée’s Simon Interlude and play selections from György Kurtág’s collection of Játékok or quite literally “games” in Hungarian. Satie’s humorous and eccentric pieces about sports were conceived for a “haute couture artist's book" while Mozart’s iconic Kegelstatt Trio was written while lawn bowling! Winsor is excited to welcome composer and soprano Kate Soper to perform her piece Chutes and Ladders, featuring text by Virgil, diary entries, Markov chains, and board game rules. The New Yorker describes Kate as "one of the great originals of her generation.”
Program: Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart Musikalisches Würfelspiel Erik Satie from Sports et divertissements Kate Soper&nbsp;Chutes and Ladders György Kurtág from Játékok Nicole Lizée Simon Interlude for Milton Bradley® Simon and ensemble Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart Kegelstatt Trio
