Perkins Possibilities Gala

Nearly 600 people attended the Perkins School for the Blind’s recent 2011 Possibilities Gala, which raised $1.5 million for students with visual impairments and other disabilities. On hand to support the cause was everyone from former governor Mitt Romney and Celtics star Ray Allen to the Red Sox's John Henry and the legendary Boston rocker Peter Wolf, who performed live with a handful of lucky Perkins students.
