Every year since 1924, the Blue Hill Troupe has come together for a season of revelry celebrating its three great passions: Theater, Charity and Community. The Troupe's efforts are rooted in a tradition of performing a Gilbert & Sullivan operetta, and the group also presents a musical theater production as well as a concert series. The all-volunteer Blue Hill Troupe spans all generations and all walks of life. New members, both front and backstage, are accepted each fall at the beginning of the season and are immediately folded into the family where everyone, from singers to stagehands alike, works side-by-side.

The Children's Cancer and Blood Foundation (CCBF) was created in 1952 to support the extraordinary work of the Division of Pediatric Hematology and Oncology. It is the oldest and largest charitable organization in the United States dedicated to funding clinical care, research and training of emerging practitioners and researchers in pediatric hematology and oncology. Support from CCBF has fueled many of the Division's breakthroughs in scientific and clinical research. It has revolutionized the treatment of young patients who, as a result, are receiving better care and living longer and fuller lives. Its team prides itself on providing outstanding, innovative, family-centered patient care and recognizes that medical treatment is only one part of the child's road to recovery. CCBF's distinguished researchers are making medical advances that are revolutionizing the study and treatment of pediatric cancers and blood disorders. CCBF scientists are applying research breakthroughs to practical treatments for patients across the world. (www.childrenscbf.org)
