"Party in the Park"

The 7th annual "Party in the Park" benefiting The Justine Mee Liff Fund for the Emerald Necklace Conservancy was held on 5/12 at the Kelleher Rose Garden in The Fenway. The event generated awareness for the importance of public works in partnership with private philanthropy, and raised much needed funding for Boston's parks system. Charles Ansbacher, founder and conductor of the Boston Landmarks Orchestra, was presented with the 2010 Justine Mee Liff Spirit Award. Capping his distinguished 40-year career, Ansbacher has brought more people to public parks and used music to unite them, honoring Frederick Law Olmsted’s democratic ideals.
