Power Of 10 Marks Success, Raises $350K

Winter 2018 | Boston

Last October, Posse Boston held its ninth annual Power of 10 celebration at Vertex Pharmaceuticals. The event raised $350K and brought together over 300 Posse supporters and alumni.

Posse Boston honored Brooks Automation for their commitment to supporting Posse Scholars with career development opportunities. In 2017, Brooks Automation became an official Career Program partner and hired their first Scholar for a summer internship.

CEO Steve Schwartz accepted the award on behalf of the company.

The Power of 10 also highlighted an exceptional Posse Boston alumnus, Antonio Gutierrez, a graduate of Union College.

Antonio is the senior vice president and co-founder of SAGA Innovations, an organization which aims to empower the next generation of leaders by using critical thinking and problem-solving skills to teach academic excellence.

“Posse empowered me, and nurtured and cultivated my voice” says Antonio. “Posse gave me the courage to be provocative and to stand up for the things I believe in.”

Posse Boston is grateful for the generous support of all partners and sponsors, particularly Brooks Automation and OMAM, the 2017 event leaders.
