PARTNERS & SPONSORS
MARE is
able to effectively deliver programs and services that directly
impact the children and families we serve thanks to strong
relationships with our dedicated partners and sponsors. We
are grateful for their support and look forward to continuing
these relationships for many years to come.
The
Boston Globe
The Boston Globe has partnered with MARE since 1976 to publish
the Sunday’s Child® column. Since its inception,
more than 1,100 children have been featured, leading to over
300 placements with adoptive families.
 The
Boston Yacht Club
Since 1987, The Boston Yacht Club (BYC), the oldest yacht
club in New England, has hosted the Chowder Challenge Boat
Race and Commodore’s Cup Golf Tournament to support
MARE. This relationship began and has grown due to the dedication
of the Quigley family, who are BYC members and champions of
our mission.
 The
Dave Thomas Foundation for Adoption
The Dave Thomas Foundation for Adoption is a non-profit public
charity dedicated to dramatically increasing the adoptions
of the more than 140,000 children in North America’s
foster care systems. Wendy's Wonderful Kids is a signature
program of the Foundation. Since 2006, MARE has been a proud
recipient of the Dave Thomas Foundation for Adoption grant
for the Wendy’s Wonderful Kids program, with one Wendy’s
Wonderful Kids recruiter based in Springfield and one now
based in Boston.
 The
Jack Williams Endowment for Wednesday’s Child
A
television journalist since 1968, Jack Williams has been recognized
by numerous organizations for his reporting skills, commitment
to the community and his work on behalf of his weekly news
series Wednesday’s Child, which celebrated
its 25th anniversary on the air in 2006. Over the years, Jack
has raised a significant amount of funds in support of MARE
programs and services. In April 2000, Mr. Williams created
The Jack Williams Endowment for Wednesday’s Child which
makes grants to a variety of organizations that support children
in foster care and special needs adoption.
Jordan’s
Furniture
Eliot Tatelman and the team at Jordan’s Furniture have
worked in partnership with MARE since December 1998. Through
their sponsorship of MARE programs and services, Jordan’s
has demonstrated an unwavering commitment to raising public
awareness and advancing the cause of adoption through foster
care. More than 150 children have been placed with adoptive
families as a direct result of Jordan’s sponsorship.
The
Massachusetts Department of Social Services
The Department of Social Services (DSS) is dedicated to the
safety, permanency and well being of children who have been
abused and neglected in family settings, or by recognized
caretakers. MARE works closely with DSS and agencies contracted
by DSS to find “a place to call HOME” for those
children in Massachusetts’ foster care system.
Route
128 Used Auto Parts
Route 128 Used Auto Parts is the automobile recycling partner

that provides significant support to MARE programs and services.

the MARE mission and are advocates for the organization’s
programs and services.
