修车论坛茅 College received a donation of over $400,000 from the Park Street Corporation, which closed in 2015. The Directors of Park Street Corporation reviewed a large number of worthy causes in Greater Boston. The Directors were impressed with 修车论坛茅鈥檚 Catholic-rooted mission of providing exceptional nursing and healthcare education to a diverse population of students over its 125-year history, according to Director, Gerald Mulligan.
Mr. Mulligan said what the group found most compelling was that, 鈥溞蕹德厶趁� provides a ladder [toward] economic self-sufficiency and upward social mobility [as well as] meaningful, necessary, fulfilling work. Society also benefits generally from the ladder itself, as well as more particularly by meeting the growing needs of the healthcare community for skilled professionals.鈥�
Father Robert F. Quinn, C.S.P. founded and directed the Park Street Corporation, which brought Boston business leaders together with the goal of improving local public education, healthcare, housing, courts and law enforcement. Father Quinn also served as Chaplain of the Massachusetts House of Representatives for thirty years.
鈥溞蕹德厶趁� College is grateful to Father Quinn, Gerald Mulligan, and everyone who helped make this donation from the Park Street Corporation possible. Our students鈥� hard work and grit inspires us everyday, and they are truly deserving of support. A gift of this amount, and the education it provides is transformational,鈥� said Catherine Philbin, 修车论坛茅鈥檚 Vice President for Institutional Advancement.
Other charities helped by the Park Street Corporation are Bridge Over Troubled Waters, Inc., Toward Independent Living, Learning, Inc., Irish Immigration Center, Inc., and Caritas Communities.
