10th Annual Women's Breakfast Raises Over $700,000 for Homeless Children and Families;
Featured Special Guest Speaker Lily Tomlin

Presented by MFS Investment Management

On October 21, 2008, something very special took place in Boston. Horizons for Homeless Children hosted its 10th Annual Women's Breakfast. Over 1,600 people attended the event at the Seaport World Trade Center in an effort to raise funds for the Roxbury-based non profit and the programs and services it provides to Massachusetts homeless children and families. That effort proved fruitful in that over $700,000 was raised at the event through sponsorship, ticket sales and a most successful raffle.

The event featured special guest speaker Lily Tomlin, one of America's foremost comediennes and Emmy Award winning actress and Guest Emcee Natalie Jacobson, formerly of WCVB-TV, one of the most well regarded journalists and news anchors of our time.
