Embracing the Legacy

Embracing the Legacy

The 17th annual Embracing the Legacy celebration, at 5:30PM on Thursday, November 9, 2023, 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.


The 2023 Embracing the Legacy celebration will honor:

Kristin Henning: The Blume Professor of Law and Director of the Juvenile Justice Clinic & Initiative at Georgetown Law

Andrew Dreyfus: Former President and CEO, Blue Cross Blue Shield of Massachusetts

Devin McCourty: NBC Sports. Retired, New England Patriots. Philanthropist


We are so excited to celebrate these amazing individuals with you on November 9th.

“The future does not belong to those who are content with today, apathetic toward common problems and their fellow man alike, timid and fearful in the face of new ideas and bold projects. Rather, it will belong to those who can blend passion, reason and courage in a personal commitment to ideals.”

Robert F. Kennedy
