Our We are Cambridge Celebration is being rescheduled, given the measures underway to protect the health and safety of residents from the coronavirus and prevent its spread in our community, we will be rescheduling our April 16th We are Cambridge Celebration to the latter part of 2020. We’re currently working with the event venue to secure a new date and will be in touch with an update very soon.
The Cambridge Community Foundation supports three visionary goals in our city: shared prosperity, social equity, and cultural richness. Join us for a lively evening focused on our city’s cultural richness to:
- honor 20 Cambridge Cultural Visionaries who are artists of national distinction and also our neighbors;
- celebrate our city’s vibrant, colorful cultural fabric;
- launch the Foundation’s new Cultural Capital Fund to cultivate creativity, build community, and support future generations.
