A group of Somerville youths had a memorable experience on Wednesday, March 20, attending the exciting Boston Celtics game at TD Garden, where the Celtics held off the Milwaukee Bucks 122-119.

Thanks to the generous sponsorship of Local 103 IBEW and NECA Greater Boston, the Kids Corner initiative welcomed a group of enthusiastic kids from The Center for Teen Empowerment to an action-packed evening and gave the youngsters an amazing experience by placing them at the heart of an exciting NBA game.

Local 103 and NECA recently became official partners of the Boston Celtics, teaming up to create unforgettable experiences for young people throughout Greater Boston through the Kids Corner initiative. The initiative aims to inspire and uplift young people by emphasizing the importance of teamwork and partnership.
