3 Days, 1400 Guests, 1 Big Night Out
New Venue and an Elevated Experience with this year's theme, Neon Glow 

— February 10 - 12, 2023
Affectionately referred to as “Boston’s Biggest Night Out,” Boston Winter Ball (BWB) is a fundraising black-tie benefit for the Corey C. Griffin Foundation geared toward Boston’s next generation of philanthropic leaders raising over $9.7 Million over the last 15 years. BWB attendees travel from across the country to reunite with old friends, make new ones, and party for a good cause. This anniversary night promises to be an experience you’ll never forget, including electrifying entertainment, inspirational guests, and lots of dancing.

Here’s what to expect!
• A SOLD-OUT event with over 1,400 young professionals, executives, and influencers.
• Recognized by the Boston Globe, Boston Common Magazine, Boston.com, and BizBash as "One of the Must-Attend Events of the Year!"

Join our co-chairs Julian Fialkow, Steve Alibrandi, and Alexandra Conigliaro Biega for an evening providing financial support to at-risk youth as well as those with medical challenges. The COVID-19 crisis has affected all of society, but it has disproportionately affected the low-income communities we primarily serve.

About the Corey C. Griffin Foundation
Following Corey's tragic passing on August 16th, 2014, the Griffin family and close friends founded the Corey C. Griffin Charitable Foundation, a 501(c)(3) public charity.  

Given his incredible passion for life and uncommon dedication to philanthropy, it was not difficult to map out the guiding principles of the foundation: improving the lives of primarily Boston-area children through strategic partnerships with the city’s leading educational and healthcare institutions, with an emphasis on faith-based initiatives. We believe that every child should have the opportunity to succeed, irrespective of their financial or health circumstances; our partnerships are helping make this goal a reality.

In large part due to Corey’s incredibly wide network of friends and close acquaintances, the Corey C. Griffin Foundation has grown considerably in six years. The impact of the Foundation’s financial support can be seen across dozens of carefully selected partnerships, with children across the Greater Boston area benefiting on a daily basis. Known lovingly as ‘Corey’s Kids’, it is through these children that Corey Griffin’s legacy will live on forever.
 Remembering Corey C Griffin 
15 years in honor of the passions Corey held during his 27 years of life.
Corey acted upon these passions and was active in philanthropy even at a young age. On the boards of the NHL Alumni Pro-Am and the Boston Winter Ball Corey was also instrumental in the Ice Bucket Challenge raising $100000 for ALS in the weeks and days before his death.

He continually inspired good in others. His compassion to help children in need was the genesis for “Corey’s Kids” programming and is reflected in the focused efforts of the foundation. Beyond his capacity for giving to others, Corey had a magnetic personality an empathic demeanor and loved to have fun. His memory lives on and he continues to inspire others to fulfill their dreams and to carry on his wish to help children succeed and thrive.
