The association raised $1.25 million in order to provide the region's girls with professionally supported mentoring relationships and enrichment programs. Special guests included Mayor Marty Walsh, Lisa Hughes, and Renee Omolade. HELLENIC WOMEN'S MISTLETOE BALL More than 300 guests, reveling in live Greek and American music courtesy of the Dean Vali Band, attended the Hellenic Women's Club's annual Mistletoe Ball to raise money in support of the club's philanthropic missions. This year's beneficiaries include Dana-Farber Cancer Institute, Massachusetts General Hospital, and EOK's General Scholarship Fund. In addition, the club handed out $5,000 scholarships to six outstanding young women. Since 1946, when the Mistletoe Ball was founded as a fundraiser for orphans from war-torn Greece, the Club has donated more than $1 million to charity.
