Boston – On May 30, four bands with members from all walks of the Biotech industry will compete, and 50% of the proceeds will be donated to the winner’s chosen charity. The remainder will be split among the additional three bands’ chosen charities.
In 2018, the Battle of the Biotech Bands (BoBB) raised over $90,000 for four charities. From its inception in 2013, over $370,000 has been raised and donated to various charity organizations.
“We’re already on our sixth annual event and every year it gets more support and enthusiasm across the industry,” says Carly Bassett, principal at TotalOffice Interiors and BoBB co-chair. “Our fundamental objective has always remained the same across the life of this event: bringing together the talented people in this industry for some fun while supporting remarkable charitable causes.”
