Join Us & Make a Difference

Event Co-Chairs Kelley Tuthill & Susan Wornick, WCVB-TV5 and the Boston Harbor Hotel invite you to an evening of fun, fashion and fundraising to benefit The Ellie Fund's Care for the Caregiver program featuring lavish hors d'oeuvres, cocktails and desserts, a lively fashion show featuring the women newscasters of Channel 5 in beautiful fashions by Ports & Company, and a lively auction including exclusive Red Sox, Patriots and Celtics packages!

  

The Kelley for Ellie Legacy

Kelley Tuthill's family, friends and colleagues created the Kelley for Ellie event as a way to honor Kelley for her dedication to helping others cope with breast cancer while she was fighting her own battle against the disease. (Click here for Kelley's diary.)

Thanks to many of you, The Ellie Fund is now helping five times the number of women and families it supported prior to Kelley for Ellie. This year we have much to celebrate and we hope you will join us for an inspirational evening. To view our video from last year, click here.

                            Tickets are $100. The event is now SOLD OUT.
