A nonprofit charity that all Bostonians hold very
close to their hearts is the One Fund Boston. The miraculous
lengths to which this organization has gone since the horrific
Boston Marathon attacks is certainly commendable. So far, over $73
Million has been collected for the victims and their families, as
the city of Boston and its people still today are getting back to
our feet, now stronger than ever.
The One Fund Boston has just announced that they have
moved into roughly 5,100 square feet of ideal office space in
Bostons Downtown Crossing neighborhood at 18 Tremont Street. This
third floor space of the 12-story building was donated to The One
Fund by Equus Capital Partners Ltd., a private equity firm based
out of Pennsylvania. This incredibly generous gesture will now give
the One Fund an improved home where continuous efforts in
fundraising for this nonprofit group will occur for a prolonged
period of time.
Previously, The One Fund carried out their
administrative and fundraising practices out of the Prudential
building in Bostons Back Bay. It was here in space donated by
Boston Properties where The One Funds mission really took off, only
mere blocks from where the bombing actually occurred. The One Fund
Treasurer who is also the CEO of The Boston Globe, Michael Sheehan,
recently came forward to mention how special the outpouring support
has been, noting that he has been overwhelmed by, …the generous
support of the Boston business community, first from Boston
Properties, who could have easily leased the space at the Pru, and
now Equus Capital. Ive yet to have anybody say no to me when Ive
asked for something (for the fund).
As the city marches on in the right direction and towards the
starting line for yet another Boston Marathon that is only a couple
of months away, we can take great pride in knowing that as a city,
Boston will always come together for the greater good of its people
who all have one anothers back.
