Benefit Events

Benefit events are a key part of Next Step's fundraising strategy, and a whole lot of fun, too. We welcome all to attend our Next-Step hosted fundraisers, and invite you to consider hosting your own benefit as well.

Good Deeds and Good Spirits

This is our annual spring wine-tasting and celebration in Cambridge, MA.  Live music, dancing, silent auction, delicious food, and Holy Spirits Wine make this one fun party, all for a great cause. Corporate sponsorships are available. Contact Aria McElhenny for more info.

Falmouth Road Race

Each August Next Step hosts a fundraising running team at this beautiful 7-mile race on Cape Cod, MA. Each runner raises at least $1000 towards Next Step's programs, and we all have a great time enjoying summer in Falmouth. Contact Emily Rosenthal for information on joining our team.

Organize your Own Benefit

Each year we are extremely lucky to benefit from a variety of events hosted by generous volunteers. Past events have included a martini party, kick-ball-a-thon, concerts, lemonade stands, elementary school projects, fraternity and sorority events, and birthday celebrations. We are so grateful for these efforts and provide support and assistance with event logistics however we can.  Contact Aria McElhenny if you're interested in organizing a fundraiser.
