Community

“I expect to pass through life but once. If therefore, there be any kindness I can show, or any good thing I can do to any fellow being, let me do it now, and not defer or neglect it, as I shall not pass this way again.”

- William Penn

One of the things we enjoy tremendously is helping others. Whether it is an individual passion or a team effort, we support each other!

We are enormously grateful to work for a company that has its own charitable foundation and makes such a huge impact in our communities: Baystate Financial Charitable Foundation.

They have also supported us in the efforts that are near and dear to our hearts. Please see below for information on some of our favorite events and how they impacted the community.

Taste of Exeter
The community came together to raise over $60,000 for the Exeter Area Scholarship Fund during an Evening
with Exeter’s Chefs in December. The event featured five of Exeter’s top chefs who served amazing offerings
from their signature restaurants.

The Exeter Area Scholarship Fund is different in that it seeks to provide opportunities to local students who
have been overlooked for traditional scholarships as well as those with challenging backgrounds and unique
circumstances. Three past recipients of the scholarship spoke at the December 5th event about the lifechanging
impact the scholarships they were awarded have had on their life.

The event will return in 2024 on Tuesday, December 10th.

BCH Corporate Cup
Baystate raised $47,521 for the Corporate Cup! We played well, we played fair, we played hard, and we had
fun - and close to a million dollars were raised ($947k to be exact) for Boston Children's Hospital by 60
corporate teams. Our two teams came in 4th and 5th place overall, and we took first in one event.

Austin17House 3rd Annual Golf Gala
Austin17House provides after school mentorship and activities that support our local youth and adults through the development of positive life skills. Our goal is to always have an atmosphere of fun and self-acceptance while creating friendships and building a strong community.

Please let us know if you would like to support us in any of these events in 2024!
