Boston YPEM Battle of the Bartenders 2025
Expect Miracles Foundation [EMF] was thrilled to host the Boston YPEM Battle of the Bartenders 2025 presented by Manulife John Hancock Investments at Howl at the Moon on March 12. Throughout the night, 16 guest bartenders served up their best drinks and earned tips for EMF. A record number of 200 attendees joined us and helped raise a record fundraising amount of over $32,000 for EMF’s SAMFund Grant Program. This program helps young adults who are struggling from the financial impacts of cancer.
EMF extends a big thank you to our YPEM corporate sponsors: FundGuard and Columbia Threadneedle Investments and our Event Sponsors: Manulife John Hancock Investments, SLR Credit Solutions and SS&C.
This event was a wonderful way to kick off Boston YPEM’s 2025 year of fundraising. We look forward to seeing you at upcoming events like EMF’s Distance Challenge (May 13-20) and the SAMFund Soiree in Boston (August 21).
