🎉 Excitement and elegance are in the air! Get ready to be part of something extraordinary at Theresa Street's Gala By The Sea. It'll be a Theresa Street event like no other, hosted at the historic New Bedford Whaling Museum, and we want you to be there! 🎉

Every registration to this event will bring us closer to achieving our mission of raising $30,000 for NorthStar Learning Centers

Our Cause: NorthStar is a New Bedford-based non-profit helping young people overcome poverty, discrimination, educational disadvantage, violence, and other adversity. This year, NorthStar opened its new learning center on Rivet Street (article) to increase its infant to pre-k service spots from 70 to 135 and expand its overall impact in our community. The donated funds from the Gala By The Sea will go to building the playground for this new center.

Thank you for supporting our mission throughout the years! Together, we will make the SouthCoast a better place to live, for everyone.
