Over 300 guests gathered for the Massachusetts Public Health Alliance (MPHA) 2025 Spring Awards Breakfast on June 6, 2025, at the Artists for Humanity EpiCenter in Boston and raised $130,000 to support its advocacy and alliance building work to create a healthier, more equitable future for all. Tpecial thanks to our Platinum Plus Sponsor, Boston Children’s Hospital, and the many sponsors and donors who made the event a success. The room broke into applause as MPHA laid out its vision for a movement for bold structural change so that individuals, families, and communities in Massachusetts regardless of race, ethnicity, wealth, or zip code have all the tools and resources they need to thrive.

Roeshana Moore-Evans, MPHA Board President, emphasized why this annual gathering had even greater meaning this year. “We gathered to reconnect with colleagues and allies, to celebrate our victories, to acknowledge this year’s public health champion awardees, and to find strength in one another during these harrowing times when public health is facing intentional threats. The energy, excitement, and power in the room demonstrated our shared goals of greater racial justice and health equity, and will fuel the strategic,
committed partnerships that we need to weather this storm and even make continued progress.”
