    Ambassador Showcase to Benefit Best Buddies Program

    You are invited to the Ambassador Showcase to benefit the Best Buddies MA/RI Ambassador program and participants! This event is being held at North Andover Middle School. Money raised at this event will support members of our Best Buddies community looking to develop their leadership, public speaking and advocacy skills. The event will include a networking hour from 6-7 p.m., then the official show and awards ceremony will take place from 7-9 p.m. 

    One of our wonderful participants, James Day Keith, who starred in the film "Champions," alongside Woody Harrelson, will be joining the Ambassador speaker panel. We will also be presenting the Half Hour Hero of the Year Award to "Love on the Spectrum" star, James B. Jones. 

    Tickets for this event are $20 for adults and $15 for kids, and all proceeds go directly back to funding our Ambassadors program and will help to sponsor some of our participants who are raising funds to attend the Best Buddies Leadership Conference this coming summer. This will be a wholesome evening of entertainment in celebration of inclusion and it is a fun and easy way for folks to give back to our community!

    Purchase your tickets now at this link to RSVP for a wonderful night of fun in support of a great cause! 

    Please reach out if you have any questions! 

    Thank you so much for your support,
