The Massachusetts Baptist Multicultural Ministries (MBMM) will be holding its Annual Fundraising Gala and Silent Auction on November 2, 2024 at the Riverview Restaurant at the Hudson Portuguese Club in Hudson, MA. Proceeds from the event will be used to help fund MBMM, whose work includes a broad variety of services to New Americans navigating through complex American institutions. Our work helps them integrate through American society and become an active contributing citizen within the community.

One of the initiatives this fundraising event serves is the ACE Center for New Americans. It is a program of the Massachusetts Baptist Multicultural Ministries, a 501c(3) tax-exempt organization. The ACE Center is a non-sectarian program that exists to assist and meet the diverse needs of numerous immigrant and ethnic communities of all faiths and traditions, with a spirit of radical hospitality. Our mission is to Advocate for immigrants and refugees as they move towards self-sufficiency; Celebrate the culture, tradition, inclusion, and achievements of immigrants; and Empower them to exist as new Americans while attaining the goals afforded to every American.

We are asking if you would sponsor our event at one of the levels listed below. The money raised will be used to fund our educational and community programs like World Refugee Day, Financial Literacy Workshops, Mentorship Programs, and New Americans Christmas.

To sign up and/or to attend the gala, please fill out this form.



Your sponsorship will not only support our organization but also create lasting change in the lives of the people we serve. With your help, we can continue providing vital services that enable New Americans to thrive, support their journey and empower and contribute to our communities.

This is more than just a seat at a gala—it’s an opportunity to personally engage with immigrants and refugees, hear their powerful stories firsthand, and recognize the faces behind the statistics.

GATHERING FOR PASTORS AND SPOUSES: Rest and Rejuvenation

Join us on Friday, Sept 22nd and Saturday, Sept 23rd for this gathering event focusing on pastors and their spouses. This year we are considering Rest and Rejuvenation as a pastor’s work-life balance can be very difficult to maintain, especially with the added stresses placed on them during the pandemic. Jesus invites us to come to him and he will give us rest (Matthew 11:28).
