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 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

of the Quigley family, who are BYC members and champions of
our mission.

charity dedicated to dramaticallyincreasing the adoptions
of the more than 140,000 children in North America’s

its 25th anniversary on the air in 2006. Over the years, Jack
has raised a significant amount of funds in support of MARE

in foster care and special needs adoption.

children in Massachusetts’ foster care system.
