Victory on the move covering new ground with our Mobile Prevention Team

annual report 2016 Our mission Victory Programs opens doors to recovery, hope and community for individuals and families facing homelessness, addiction and chronic illnesses like HIV/AIDS. Our dedication Victory Programs proudly dedicates our 2016 annual report to:

Michael Whitmore, founder and principal architect at the firm Roundel 47, has for 25 years offered Victory Programs his distinguished multi-talented vision to design, construct and improve nearly all of our community-based health programs and housing sites.

His original artful building designs, masterful rehabs, state-of-the-art modification plans and meticulously studied zoning opinions have never ceased to amaze us. He makes each seemingly impossible project miraculously come true. In his work and in his life, Michael’s designs are nothing short of inspired and elegant.

Michael makes every square inch of life count.

And ….

The Convention Center Authority (MCCA), which operates both the Hynes Convention Center and the Convention and Exhibition Center. For nearly 25 years, the MCCA has generously donated the space at the Hynes and hosted our annual Celebration of Life Thanksgiving Dinner in support of Boston’s HIV/AIDS community. The Celebration of Life is a popular community event for people living with HIV/AIDS with an important history dating back to the height of the AIDS crisis. This magnanimous in-kind donation year after year is truly a celebration of life and serves to give hope to everyone in the Boston HIV/AIDS community, and their family and friends.

“Meeting people where they are at” is the unofficial motto of our Mobile Prevention Team. In 2015, Victory Programs recognized the need to offer support to individuals and families through low-barrier, low-threshold services, beyond our core residential services. The team focuses on education, navigation and risk-assessment services for both internal and external high-risk clients including active drug users and individuals with chronic health issues like HIV/AIDS or Viral Hepatitis. The Mobile Prevention Team is comprised of four projects: Drug User Health, Positive Prevention, Primary Prevention and Viral Hepatitis. These projects each offer both group level interventions and individual interventions. Our Mobile Prevention Team staff can connect with clients for both one-time interventions and long-term support, often accompanying clients to appointments, connecting with their case managers and working with them on goal-setting and risk-assessment. Victory Programs is literally on the move, covering new ground. Meg von Lossnitzer, Deputy Director of Victory Prevention, leads the team.

The Drug User Health Project is one of the pilot The Drug User Health Project conducts trainings with locations for the State of Massachusetts’ Overdose partner organizations including Pine Street Shattuck Education and Naloxone Distribution work. Shelter, Rosie’s Place, St. Francis House, Women’s “The main thing we concentrate on is overdose Lunch Place, Health Care Resource Centers and education,” explains Christopher Richard, the Drug local community groups as well as internal trainings User Health Coordinator, “particularly in regards to for Victory Programs’ clients.

Dinnerfest RED Party + Auction Last spring, hundreds of guests donned festive red attire to join Victory Programs at Red Lantern for the most successful Dinnerfest RED Party + Auction in the event’s 26 year history! Massachusetts Attorney General Maura Healey and Joanne Chang of Flour Bakery and Myers + Chang served as Honorary Co-Chairs with a star-studded Host Committee comprised of restauranteurs, local celebrities, elected officials and special friends. Professional auctioneer Kathy Kingston entertained guests with lively antics and Victory Programs client, Jen, riveted the audience with her personal story of addiction and recovery. Red Lantern treated us all to mouth-watering hors d’oeuvres while guests bid on dining packages from the area’s hottest restaurant destinations, adventurous vacation packages, state- of-the-art kitchen appliances, theater tickets and more! Thanks to the care and generosity of our guests, corporate sponsors, restaurant community and in-kind donors, Dinnerfest 2016 set a record and raised over $123,000!

This packed afternoon of dancing, games, flirting and fun included an extensive sports-themed raffle and a hilarious victory programs #WigFun4Victory photo contest. Our enthusiastic partners and more than 500 guests, largely from the LGBT sports community, helped us raise over $10,000 a year in review for our health, housing and prevention programs. Celebration of Life Thanksgiving Dinner There are scores of meaningful community events throughout Greater Boston, but none more heartfelt than our annual Celebration of Life Thanksgiving Dinner, a hope-filled evening free to anyone living with HIV/AIDS, and their loved ones. The event is the largest annual fundraiser for Victory Programs’ Boston Living Center (BLC). Each year our volunteers transform the Hynes Convention Center ballroom into an autumnal celebration with tables adorned by fanciful centerpieces in anticipation of the more than 600 guests who enjoyed a full-course Thanksgiving meal, live performances by Woza Moya and St. Paul AME & Grant AME Gospel Choir and a Resource Fair with over 30 participating organizations! This year’s theme was Positive, Proud & Living Out Loud, a perfect sentiment for the presentation of the Peter Daniel Clark Award to Alfredo Hernandez Chavez, a long- time champion of the BLC and tireless advocate for all people living with HIV/AIDS. We were also proud to honor Jo Ann Coull with the first-ever Brenda Bellizeare “Better It Gets” (BIG) Award for embodying the BLC’s core values of wellness, education and support for all its members. As always, we are grateful to the generous support of our corporate supporters, special friends and outstanding volunteers who helped us raise nearly $129,000 for the BLC and our members!

Gratitude Dinner For over 40 years, Victory Programs has welcomed staff, clients, alumni, board members and special guests for dinner and reflection. We bestow the Manny Jefferson Gratitude Award to an individual, organization or company who exhibits excellence in volunteerism and a commitment to helping our clients or improving our programs and services. We presented the 2016 Manny Jefferson Gratitude Awards to Boston College’s PULSE Program and to Victory Programs’ Board member and Shepherd House alum Elizabeth Dugan. This extraordinarily moving evening concluded with clients from across our 17 programs sharing their personal journeys.

Drive for Victory Golf Tournament Our fourth annual golf tournament was held at Oakley Country Club, a verdant, private course steeped in history and nestled in Watertown, Massachusetts. We welcomed over 100 supporters who relished the gorgeous greens of this golfer’s paradise. This beautiful day included a buffet luncheon, 18 holes of golf, a silent auction, raffle, awards dinner and a take-away swag bag full of golfer treasures. Our corporate sponsors, in-kind donors and golfers once again gave generously, making Drive for Victory 2016 another one for the record books with nearly $53,000 raised for hope, health and housing!
