Ruth P. Boraski Celebration Evening

For over 30 years, Girls Inc. of the Berkshires has been celebrating the accomplishments of young women and female leaders in our community, through the Ruth P. Boraski Celebration Evening. The event serves two purposes. First, it presents scholarships to girls who will be continuing their education after graduation. Secondly, it recognizes an area woman who makes a difference in the Berkshires and serves as a role model for girls with the She Knows Where She’s Going award.

Girls Inc. of the Berkshires is thrilled to announce the 2025 Ruth P. Boraski Celebration Evening will be held on Thursday, May 8 at 5 pm at the stunning Proprietor’s Lodge in Pittsfield. The evening will shine a spotlight on 12 remarkable female scholars from across Berkshire County and honor Brenda Petell as this year’s “She Knows Where She’s Going” Award recipient.

This signature event celebrates the strength, intellect, and leadership of young women who are blazing their own trails, as well as those in the community who have paved the way through advocacy, mentorship, and service.

Tickets are $50 and can be purchased at https://brighamcenter.org/boraski.
