Shamrock Gala
2009 Shamrock Gala

The Boston Celtics raised over $700,000 for area children's charities at their annual Shamrock Gala, benefitting the Boston Celtics Shamrock Foundation, at the Renaissance Boston Waterfront Hotel. Proceeds from the event benefit the focus partners of the Shamrock Foundation including Perkins School for the Blind, Boston Children's Hospital, Horizons for Homeless Children, the Massachusetts Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Children (MSPCC), and Berklee College of Music.

All of the Celtics players attended the event and took part in a session on stage where they impersonated one another other, answered questions from a moderator and played an entertaining game of pictionary.
