BUILDFest Boston 2024 Recap

Building Businesses in Boston

BUILDFest Boston 2024

What an incredible night of innovation at BUILDFest Boston 2024 at the Artists for Humanity EpiCenter! The night was filled with joy as we celebrated alongside students, educators, partners, volunteers, and alumni. Our student business teams made over $2,000 in sales, and we awarded $3,500 to the BUILDFest Finalists — Catora (Randolph High School), Cookin’ Chronicles (New Mission High School), and The Sixth Sense (Another Course to College). 

 

Through our generous supporters, we raised over $20,000, bringing us to over 80% of our fundraising goal for the night. There’s still time to support to help us reach our goal of $25K, which can help us bring BUILD to another school in our area next year!
