Operation Jeepers Christmas - Holiday Gift Drive

EDPA Northeast is Proud to Sponsor Project New Hope & Operation Jeepers Christmas

‘Tis the season for giving, and the EDPA Northeast Chapter invites you to help us! We are once again working with Project New Hope for their Operation Jeepers Christmas holiday gift giving drive.

Each year, Project New Hope, Inc. hosts their Operation Jeepers Christmas initiative to help make the holidays a little brighter for the children of our active and veteran military community. These children, up to ages 17, sometimes spend the holidays without their loved ones. Please consider donating to our cause, so we can purchase gifts for our chosen family and help make their holiday merry and bright.

While Project New Hope maintains a strict privacy policy on their signed-up families, they do provide us with some background information on the children and their holiday wishlist. Our assigned family this year has three children.

If you would like to know more about the individual wish list of each child to know how your donation will be spent, please contact us at info@edpanortheast.com.

We are grateful for the donations received!

Swinging for a Cause: Highlights from the EDPA Northeast Chapter’s Classic Golf Event

For the EDPA Northeast Chapter, The Classic is a day dedicated to networking, friendly competition, and uniting our members for a meaningful cause.

This year’s event was a tremendous success. With perfect weather and an impressive turnout of 84 golfers, along with about 15 non-golfers and banquet attendees, we achieved our highest attendance ever. We also welcomed a record 28 sponsors, making this year truly special. Held at a new venue, Cyprian Keyes in Boylston, the day began with a 1:00 shotgun start and culminated in a banquet dinner for all participants.

To enhance engagement and excitement, the Chapter Board chose to direct the event proceeds to Boston Children's Hospital.

At EDPA Northeast, we take pride in supporting Boston Children's Hospital, an essential resource for children and families in our community and beyond. Our donation will benefit the Extraordinary Needs Fund, which assists families with expenses not covered by insurance—such as temporary housing, transportation, and daily bills—allowing them to focus on their child’s healing.

Renowned for its exceptional care and innovative research, Boston Children's Hospital treats more children with rare and complex conditions than any other facility and consistently ranks among the nation’s best according to U.S. News & World Report.

Last year, we partnered with HEART 9/11, an organization founded by first responders after September 11, 2001, dedicated to disaster response and community rebuilding. This year, the Board aimed to support another impactful organization that serves its community and relies on donations. Our mission is to advocate for the growth of the events and experiential marketing industry, provide educational opportunities for our members, and give back through volunteer efforts and financial contributions.

This decision resonated deeply with our members, attracting not only our loyal sponsors and golfers but also many new faces from the events industry.

As a result of these collective efforts, the EDPA Northeast Chapter raised $5,000 for the Extraordinary Needs Fund.

While the Northeast Chapter organizes this annual golf tournament, our success is truly dependent on the unwavering support, donations, and participation of our members. We extend our heartfelt thanks to all our members, annual sponsors, and event sponsors for your invaluable support.

Thank you to our 2024 Classic Event Sponsors

Record-Breaking "Rally at the Alley" Raises $35,000 for Katelin Coyne

Rally at the Alley 2024: A Resounding Success

The 2024 edition of the EDPA Northeast Chapter’s annual fundraiser, “Rally at the Alley,” was a resounding success. On May 9th, NE Chapter members from near and far gathered at Foxborough’s Splitsville restaurant and bowling center, nestled in the heart of Patriot Place, to support Katelin Coyne of T3 Expo.

The event saw a bustling room filled with colleagues, associates, and vendors, achieving record-breaking numbers for attendance, donations, and sponsorships. Thanks to the generous contributions, the EDPA Northeast members and member companies raised approximately $35,000 for Katelin and her family.

Garrett Coyne, Katelin’s husband, passed away suddenly on October 5, 2023, at the age of 28. Originally from Portsmouth, RI, Garrett and Katelin were residing in Murrells Inlet, SC, with their two young children, Reagan and Addison. Married in 2015, Garrett had fulfilled his lifelong dream of becoming a firefighter and EMT, serving with the Bristol RI Fire Department, the Tiverton RI Fire Department, and finally with Midway Fire Rescue in South Carolina. Katelin has been a valued member of T3 Expo since 2015, starting as an Event Specialist and now serving as the Operation Process Manager.

We are incredibly proud of our members for rallying together to support a dedicated colleague. It was a fantastic night filled with fun, networking, bowling, and heartfelt support for Katelin.
