More than 150 members of the Northeast Arc community gathered at the Center for Linking Lives at Liberty Tree Mall on March 22 to celebrate the conclusion of the Campaign for Linking Lives. The three-year campaign raised more than $3.2 million to support the innovative and inclusive space that is home to all of Northeast Arc’s community-facing programs for people with disabilities or autism.
Josh Kraft, president of the New England Patriots Foundation, said the center is a perfect representation of the impact Northeast Arc has on individuals with disabilities and their families.
“Northeast Arc has been serving our communities for nearly 70 years now, and the center is really the heart and soul of their efforts,” he said.
Jo Ann Simons, president and CEO of Northeast Arc, recognized the donors who helped make the center a reality, noting the unique challenge of building it during the pandemic.
“It was this committee, and all of you — our donors, supporters and staff that reaffirmed that this project was too important to wait,” she said.
