Embracing the Legacy

Embracing the Legacy
The 16th annual Embracing the Legacy celebration, in November 2023 (exact date tbd), will showcase the work of RFK Community Alliance and honor people whose extraordinary actions reflect the social values and hopes of the late Senator Robert F. Kennedy.
Each honoree is dedicated to making positive impacts on the lives of people whose challenges and needs often go unseen, by raising awareness, fighting against social injustices, and advocating for those who don’t have a voice. We honor this work because every person has value and deserves dignity.
Please join us in congratulating the 2022 Embracing the Legacy honorees:
Nora Baston, Superintendent, Boston Police Department
Jay Calnan, CEO, J. Calnan & Associates and Co-Founder, Team Impact
Edward Loughran (posthumous), Founder, Council of Juvenile Correctional Administrators
Marylou Sudders, Secretary of Health & Human Services for the Commonwealth of Massachusetts
Ed Kelley, retired CEO of RFK Children’s Action Corps, received our Lifetime Achievement Award for his many years of dedicated service to children and families.
