The Power of Story: Our Work With 826 Boston

Gene Begin, Managing Director, CP Education

We’re excited to announce the launch of our work for 826 Boston, a nonprofit dedicated to supporting young writers through tutoring and publishing. Their Fall Annual Appeal campaign, “Why I Keep Coming Back,” centers on the students, volunteers, and staff who make 826 Boston thrive. A true collaboration, this project leveraged our team’s skills across strategy, copywriting, brand management, and production. We conducted interviews and shot footage to capture the community’s stories, creating the final hero film which will anchor 826 Boston’s upcoming fundraising and effectively capture the spirit of their mission.

CP team members attended 826 Boston’s signature fundraising gala on October 23, where the video was showcased among a room full of 300 donors, friends and community members. The event featured a lively series of 826 Boston student and alumni performances, keynote speakers, an electric fundraising auction, and networking conversations before and after the structured program. The evening also honored Sheena Collier with the Changing the Narrative Award and culminated in a conversation she moderated between author Jasmine Guillory and 826 Boston Youth Literary Advisory Board member Camila.
