DECEMBER 7, 2007
11th Annual Black Nativity Benefit Event for MHSA

Each year at the start of the holiday season, MHSA sells tickets to Langston Hughes’ inspiring gospel song-play, Black Nativity. There are many Christmas performances but none may be as inspirational or exhilarating as Black Nativity. A mixture of scripture, verse, music and dance that tells the Christmas story, Black Nativity continues to be a joyous and uplifting experience. The MHSA Benefit Event this year was held on Friday, December 7 at 8 pm in the Tremont Temple, 88 Tremont Street, Boston. More than 200 MHSA members, friends, and supporters sang, danced, and clapped along at this evening of festive holiday celebration.

All proceeds from Black Nativity ticket sales and sponsorships through MHSA go directly to support advocacy efforts to end homelessness in Massachusetts.  For information about supporting MHSA through Black Nativity please contact Erin Donohue at 617.367.6447 ext. 25 or edonohue@mhsa.net. We hope to see you there next year!
