Have you heard? This year, GRACE is hosting their 20th annual Gala – that’s something to get excited about! With just under 6 months to go until the big day, today we’d like to shine the spotlight on this year’s Auction Chair, Christine Palmer.
Christine’s involvement with GRACE began in 2021, when she attended the Gala VIP Party at the home of Madeline and David Ricci. As you may know, the Ricci’s are this year’s Gala Chairs! Now teamed up with Christine, this gala is sure to be the best one yet.
While Christine may be newer to the GRACE mission, she is no stranger to caring for her community and supporting others. She began a career in nursing in 2001, and after 12 dedicated years, she navigated toward the technology side of things in 2013. These days, Christine works a packed schedule as the Director of Clinical Applications for a technology company based in Boston. In this role, she directs a team of project analysts with a focus on implementing and programming electronic medical record software.
Christine shared with us that she has a huge passion for both serving and leading, so when she was asked to serve as our Auction Chair, she just couldn’t say no! Knowing that she – and the rest of the committee – are helping make a difference in the lives of so many others is a true blessing to her. “Helping GRACE means helping people and families, which feeds my heart,” she says. Thank you, Christine, for your sincere dedication to the GRACE mission and to the 2023 Gala!
The Gala Committee as a whole is made up of many incredible people looking to do great things – and we have room for you! Join us at our next meeting, July 13th, from 4:30 – 5:30pm, here at GRACE. Everyone has a place – from planning décor, to brainstorming auction items, to connecting with amazing sponsors – so let’s get you started!
