The ABCD 2024 Community Heroes Celebration is an evening of inspiration and connection, and we hope you will be part of it! Enjoy a keynote conversation between Emmy Award-winning journalist and activist LZ Granderson and ABCD President and CEO Sharon Scott-Chandler. Los Angeles Times and ABCD News contributor and podcaster LZ is a versatile and powerful speaker, writer, and LGBTQ+ and social justice activist whose TED Talk has 1.7 million views.

And enjoy the sounds of Billboard chart-topping R&B singer—and Boston native—Noel Gourdin!

And we’re thrilled to have NBC 10 Boston Anchor Glenn Jones as our emcee.

Of course, the 19 community heroes being honored are the heart and soul of this annual event.

Come be inspired, connect with Bostonians from all walks of life, and meet your new heroes!

For over 60 years, ABCD has built pathways out of poverty in partnership with families and communities so that everyone can thrive. Our vital impact would not be possible without our exceptional volunteers and partners, and we look forward to honoring these amazing individuals
