Evening with Ceres 2025

Celebrate Boston Innovation and Impact with Ceres

Boston is a beacon of progress and Ceres proudly calls it home. This fall, we invite you to join us at the iconic JFK Presidential Library for our annual fundraiser—an evening dedicated to celebrating Boston and the Bay State’s role as the emerging climate tech and clean energy innovation hub. This year’s theme reflects Ceres’ commitment to accelerating the transition to a cleaner, more just and resilient economy.

Mark your calendars and stay tuned for more details. We look forward to seeing you on October 6!
