Fundraising Drive: Accordia Team Joins South Boston Charity Golf Tournament

Members of the Accordia Partners team hit the links and helped raise funds for the community last week in the annual Edgerley Family South Boston Club Golf Tournament. Part of the Boys and Girls Club of Boston, the Edgerly Family South Boston Club provides services to hundreds of at-risk youths every year.

The Accordia foursome included Vice President of Diversity, Equity, & Inclusion Jill Lacey Griffin; VP of Acquisitions & Development Kevin Galvin; Development Associate Kelly Taylor; and a South Boston resident.

The Tournament has been held for more than 30 years in an effort to support the Club. Accordia sponsored one of this year’s holes, helping to carry on the tradition of serving Club members and their families. 

“We all had a great time on the course and were so happy to help raise funds for the Edgerly Family South Boston Club,” said Jill, who recently joined Advisory Board at the Boys and Girls Club of Boston.

Jill Lacey Griffin Joins Boys and Girls Club of Boston Advisory Board

Deepening our connection with and commitment to the Boston community, Accordia Partners Vice President of Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion Jill Lacey Griffin has joined the Advisory Board at the Boys and Girls Club of Boston (BGCB). She’ll serve in a variety of roles for the organization, including event planning and fundraising efforts.

“This is a wonderful opportunity to benefit the community through the great connections I’ve built with Accordia,” Jill said. “It’s so humbling to have the chance to connect my professional career with my personal life and help the Boys and Girls Club of Boston.”

The BGCB provides services to thousands of people every year – not only at-risk youth but family and community members. Last year, 98% of BGCB’s graduating seniors were accepted to college or trade school, with the other 2% securing jobs or internships.

Jill says she’s very excited to serve the mission of the BGCB and help young people realize their full potential. She’ll also seek to connect the working professionals at Accordia’s largest project, Dorchester Bay City, with the Boys & Girls Club community.
