Bridgewell, a nonprofit social and human services organization serving northeastern Massachusetts, today announced that Bob MacDonald and Frank DiTucci of MacDonald & Vaccaro Insurance Agency will be the Excellence in Service honorees at its 2025 Imagine the Possibilities Gala for their longstanding support of Bridgewell’s mission and partnership over the past 20 years.
“It is such a pleasure to honor Bob and Frank for their unwavering integrity, commitment and service to the Bridgewell community for more than two decades,” said Bridgewell President and CEO Christopher Tuttle. “Their service to the organization has gone well beyond ensuring that we have insurance coverage for our programs. We have worked together for so many years because Bob and Frank have proven that they are invested in our mission, and they’ve worked to earn our trust.”
The Excellence in Service Award recognizes individuals or organizations for their outstanding support of Bridgewell, a community or a social cause. The award is intended to honor those making a positive difference in their communities and inspiring others to do the same.
“Bob and I are grateful to Bridgewell for receiving their Excellence in Service Award,” said Frank DiTucci. “It is an honor and privilege to work with an organization that provides such vital clinical, housing, and vocational support to individuals in their care with disabilities and other life challenges, and to help those individuals achieve personal growth, dignity and be part of the community in which they live.”
The nonprofit’s signature fundraising event is an opportunity to celebrate the achievements of Bridgewell and the individuals it serves over the past year, to recognize and thank its partners and supporters, and to raise funding for its behavioral health, day habilitation, employment, housing and addiction recovery programs.
Bridgewell’s Imagine the Possibilities Gala and fundraiser will be held on Friday, April 11, at the Renaissance Boston Waterfront Hotel. The event will include a cocktail reception, dinner program, silent/online auction, and live Fund a Need auction.
