Thank you to all our supporters who came out to Welcome Home on October 8. Because of you, we raised more than $800,000 for our mission.

With more than $300,000 coming from the event’s live auction and paddle raise, the night became Rogerson’s most successful single evening of fundraising in our 166-year history.

More than $800,000 was raised for older adults at Rogerson's annual Welcome Home Gala celebrating John L. Hall II.

John L. Hall II is a force multiplier. Rogerson and those we serve benefit not solely from his expertise and philanthropy, but, with his highly persuasive personality, from that of the others he irresistibly draws into Rogerson’s orbit.

John will be celebrated and honored with the Charles E. Rogerson Award at the Welcome Home Gala on October 8, 2026 at Boston Harbor Hotel.

We are saddened by the passing of Victoria Williams, a tireless advocate for equal housing rights in Boston and a longtime friend to the organization. We will recognize and honor her posthumously with a lifetime achievement award for her decades of advocacy and contributions to the cause of fair and affordable housing in Boston at our gala in October.

We are both grateful for the The Hamilton Company Charitable Foundation's support and encouraged by the commitment it signifies to caring for older adults in a time of unprecedented need.

This gift will bring the total amount of philanthropic support of the Rogerson House redevelopment project to over $2 million, more than three-quarters of which has been raised in 2026 alone.

The Hamilton Company Charitable Foundation is donating $600,000 to support the Rogerson House memory care and affordable housing project.

Philanthropic institutions like the Linn Foundation see the need for memory care and affordable housing as clearly as anyone. We are extremely excited and grateful to receive this generous award.

The Ruby W. and LaVon P. Linn Foundation awarded Rogerson a $250,000 grant for its memory care and affordable housing project.

Our Adult Day Health program ensures older adults like Mumtaz, who spent her life caring for children, are cared for themselves.

As costs for other forms of care like assisted living continue to climb, adult day health programs often represent an alternative that provides many of the same benefits at a lower cost. According to the Massachusetts Adult Day Services Association (MADSA), the average annual cost to MassHealth for a full year of ADH is less than $19,000, compared to more than $72,000 for nursing home care—an annual savings to the state of some $53,000 per person. Ensuring that older adults remain healthy, active, and engaged this way while living independently is also far less expensive for the state than home health care, per MADSA.

Rogerson's Adult Day Health program cares for older adults like Mumtaz Budwani and gives them the opportunity to socialize in a safe setting.

We're incredibly grateful for the support from The Boston Foundation to improve our fitness and socialization offering for our residents on Beacon Hill.

Step into Eduardo's well-curated and tidy home and you'll be impressed by its aesthetics and his eye for detail. What might move you further is the story of how he found his way to apartment 4E.

"I’m telling you, it’s a gift of biblical proportions. If I live for the rest of my life in this very apartment, I will consider myself hugely blessed."

With his Rogerson apartment in Beacon Hill as his safe haven, Eduardo Pereira is inspired and determined to care for others.

A big thank you to Point32Health for sponsoring our summer barbecue last week. Around 80 people from the Adult Day Health program and Roslindale House came out for a beautiful summer Friday in the shady courtyard behind the building, enjoying the music, each other’s company, and plenty of cheeseburgers and hot dogs.

Extra thanks to the eight volunteers from Point32Health who helped out in the prep kitchen and behind the grill, and mingled with guests, making sure everyone was comfortable and well-fed. For at least one, the day had a personal connection—her grandmother, a regular ADH participant.

"She loves it,” said Jackie Coston, a Point32Health project manager. “Every morning she appreciates the van coming to pick her up. And we appreciate that she gets to come and socialize and to do activities with people in the community."

Darlene Boroviak's gift is a philanthropic catalyst for a tenfold expansion of our footprint and mission in southeastern Massachusetts.

We are fortunate to have leadership who not only recognize the urgency in our ambitious plans, but who also step up to ensure we're successful.
