A Cause for Connection: Changing the View on Aging, Together

Presented by FriendshipWorks

This event has passed but you can still support this fundraiser with a gift.

For over 41 years, FriendshipWorks has been transforming lives every day through friendship, volunteerism, and powerful community partnerships. By reducing isolation among older adults and nurturing authentic, intergenerational relationships, we help older adults feel seen, valued, and supported—improving health, well-being, and quality of life.

Your support fuels this mission. It empowers essential programs that match older adults with caring volunteers, sparks life-changing connections, and shifts long-held narratives about aging in our city.

Help lead a new conversation—from “Social isolation is just what happens as we age” to “Social isolation is something we can prevent—together.”

This event was intentionally designed to foster connection, conversation, and community through a dynamic, cocktail-style experience with plenty of food and fun.

FriendshipWorks' A Cause for Connection—was a special evening dedicated to reshaping how Boston thinks about aging. Set high above the city atop the iconic Prudential Tower, this uplifting celebration honored the extraordinary impact of human connection and the conviction that everyone deserves the opportunity to age with respect and a strong sense of community.

Here's a snapshot of the stunning city views, the friendships and conversations unfolding throughout the evening, and the inspiring energy of a community committed to helping older adults in Greater Boston age with purpose and belonging.
