On Saturday, October 18, 2025, House of Possibilities (HOPe) joined in the Best Buddies Boston Friendship Walk at the Schrafft City Center in Charlestown, MA—a celebration of friendship, inclusion, and community for people with intellectual and developmental disabilities (IDD).

This year, HOPe was recognized for its unwavering commitment to fostering a community where children and adults with disabilities are empowered to learn, grow, and thrive.

This annual event highlights the strong connections built through the Best Buddies program, a cornerstone of the HOPe experience that fosters understanding, belonging, and meaningful relationships between our members and college students.

One of the biggest events of the year for HOPe’s YPG group, this summer celebration gives young professionals the chance to network and learn more about how they can support HOPe’s mission of supporting the disability community. 

On Monday, August 4th, HOPe members had the opportunity to visit the New England Patriots Training Camp! Thanks to the incredible generosity of the Patriots Foundation, HOPe had front-row access to the action on the field and an unforgettable day.

HOPe is so grateful to be able to host Hulk as he visits our members, highlighting the work he does for his community, and his inspiring backstory. Laws like the ADA allow Hulk to spread not only happiness, but a message of strength and support. His story of resilience, and of course how cute he is, brings joy to everyone he meets. 

Here at HOPe, our goal is to create a world where opportunity is afforded equally, and success is accessible to everyone. This march was a wonderful way for our members to advocate for themselves and feel the support Boston has for the disability community as a whole. 

HOPe would like to extend a big thank you to our summer cookout 2025 host, Auburn Construction! HOPe members from Boston and Easton came, along with staff,  Auburn employees and other community members to enjoy burgers, hot dogs, clam chowd-ah, and more.
