Thank you to all of our incredible restaurants, celebrity chefs, attendees, and sponsors for joining us at our 22nd Anniversary event on October 3, 2019! It was wonderful to celebrate 22 years of making a profound impact upon women's health here in Dorchester.

Codman Square Health Center proudly presents its signature fundraising event, Men of Boston Cook for Women’s Health to raise funds to improve women’s health in our community.

Men of Boston celebrated its 22nd anniversary event in 2019 and has become one of the premier events in the Boston area. The fundraiser has been named one of the ten best Food and Wine Events in Boston by BizBash, and a top 10 can't miss event in Boston by Zagat. Men of Boston distinguishes itself in many ways, including being the largest on-site fundraising benefit in Boston, demonstrating our commitment to the community.

Since 1995, Men of Boston Cook for Women’s Health has raised over $3 million of crucial funds to combat women’s health disparities in issues such as breast cancer, diabetes, heart disease, and HIV/AIDS for over 10,000 women in Dorchester. One hundred dollars of every ticket sold goes directly to supporting women’s health programs, such as funding the cost of a mammogram, sponsoring prenatal women’s groups or supporting our innovative healthy weight initiatives for women.
