It was a marvelous evening!

An audience of over 300 people was riveted as the Pulitzer Prize-winning author and historian Doris Kearns Goodwin spoke about the role of women in American society at a fundraiser for OSS on July 26, 2015. 

After the introductions by Ms. Alvord and Ms. Herman, the OSS Chorus (Alejandra Mendez '18, Isadora Sylvia-Ribiero '18, Marlowe Tavares '17 and alumna Maya Tavares '14) opened the evening with a wonderful rendition of "True Colors," followed by a heartfelt speech from alumna Arianna Mello '11, both of which received standing ovations. 

The evening was a true community effort with everyone from students to board members pitching in to help. Also of note are the delectable foods and dessert prepared by many talented supporters, some of whom are well-known James Beard Award winners. 

OSS thanks all our generous donors for the spectacular evening which, including the live and silent auctions, successfully raised over $200,000.
