Life Science Cares Boston

You know it's an amazing volunteer day when our inboxes are full of great pictures and many words of thanks. Last week, Cullinan Therapeutics' team assembled baby bundles and no-sew blankets for young at-risk mothers at Bridge Over Troubled Waters, one of our nonprofit partners. From diapers and wipes to bottles and onesies, these care packages provide young parents with everything needed to welcome their baby home. "Everyone at Bridge marveled at not only the number of Baby Bundles that were donated but how packed full they each were with such great items for the moms and babies in the Single Parent House. Thank you all so very much for your generosity and commitment to helping those who need it most. We are very grateful."

A big shoutout to our second September Corporate Partner of the Month: Biogen! Last month, as part of their third annual “Care Deeply Volunteer Day,” volunteers supported several LSC partners and friends, including St. Mary's Center for Women and Children/Crossroads Family Center, Community Servings, and Victory Programs. Many thanks to all of the volunteers for their hugely impactful day (and month)! #giveback #LSCimpact

Another one of our alumni nonprofit partners in the news! Amazing work, Pine Street Inn.

Woo hoo for Friday teamwork! Big thanks to Schrödinger for their office furniture donations to our nonprofit partners, Julie's Family Learning Program and Alexander Twilight Academy. And a special shoutout to Tobin Scientific who jumped in last minute to pick up and deliver everything.

Always great to connect our corporate partners with our nonprofit partners. What an impactful event at Sanofi, and great job presenting about mentorship and volunteer engagement, Young Man With a Plan! #mentorship #volunteer

Life science friends—we really need your help! Please consider being a virtual math tutor this fall, winter, or spring. We have an urgent need for tutors right now for our program with sixth-graders in Milford, MA. Please share widely as we need several more volunteers to continue with this successful and impactful program—the results have been impressive!

Wow! 14 years old and named "America's Top Young Scientist" for inventing a device to detect pesticides on produce. Amazing contest, 3M and Discovery Education. Can't wait to see what the future holds for this next generation of changemakers! #stemeducation #maSTEMweek

We're at Informa Connect's #IMEGrants2024 conference today, where attendees are helping with a few minutes of service by packing shelf-stable snack packs for our nonprofit partner, FamilyAid. If you'd like to add a give-back moment to your conference or offsite, or if you'd like to have us plan a volunteer event for your company, please reach out and we can share the possibilities! #giveback #LifeScienceCaresBoston

Happy Massachusetts STEM Week! This year's theme focuses on “STEM starts now"—with a goal to boost the interest, awareness, and ability of all students to see themselves in STEM opportunities. We have some amazing statistics to share from Project Onramp, our summer internship program that creates access in the life sciences industry for talented, motivated college students who are under-resourced and often first-generation. What an incredible 5 years it has been! Learn more about Project Onramp: projectonramp.us. #maSTEMweek
