Taste of Perkins

Thank you to everyone who supported the Taste of Perkins and helped to make it successful. We hope you will join us next year on May 1, 2025.

Taste of Perkins

A magical, immersive experience like no other in Boston.

The 2024 Taste of Perkins was an amazing success. Thank you to everyone who supported this event. Because of you, we raised over $200,000 to unlock potential in students around the world.  

We hope to see everyone on Saturday, October 5th for our 4th annual Everybody In! Walk/Move for Perkins and on May 1, 2025 for our next Taste of Perkins.
