This year, we are promoting a “Buy One, Sponsor One” ticket option to support equitable access. When you purchase a ticket, you can help sponsor attendance for a community member who might not otherwise be able to join us. Your support helps ensure that those closest to the work are in the room for this celebration.
MPHA’s 24th Annual Spring Awards Breakfast will take place on Friday, June 5, 2026, in Smith Hall at the John F. Kennedy Presidential Library and Museum in Boston.
