Boston Celtics Partner with Perkins

In the world of sports, there are a handful of teams whose names bring to mind the word "dynasty." Boston Celtics is certainly one of them. As the team embarks on a new era as a sports franchise, the the Boston Celtics Shamrock Foundation has named Perkins among their community partners. It is an honor to be part such a proud community effort.

Celtics power forward Kevin Garnett says of his partnership with guards Paul Pierce and Ray Allen, "We're three unselfish guys who want to win and when you have those philosophies - the sky's the limit."

That idea mirrors the combined efforts of The Shamrock Foundation and Perkins School for the Blind. In their tenth year, the Shamrock Foundation continues their mission to extend the reach of the Celtics championship legacy into the community by providing not only funding, but also a true partnership with Perkins. Our joint commitments to literacy for all, fulfillment of educational goals, fostering volunteerism and celebrating diversity promise the success of this partnership.

January 23, 2008, was "Perkins Night" at the TD BankNorth Garden Celtics/Toronto Raptors game. The Shamrock Foundation handed the Perkins School for the Blind a $50,000 check and Perkins Alumna Jaimi Lard, who is a deafblind spokesperson for the school, was honored as a "Hero Among Us."
