June Continues to Bloom in Support of Expanding Manet’s Quality, Comprehensive Care for Patients and Families

The June Bloom Gala was a wonderful evening of community and support! On June 4, more than 200 guests gathered at Leo’s Events & Restaurant in Braintree to celebrate and advance Manet’s mission of providing quality, comprehensive health care to patients and families across Quincy, Hull, Taunton, and Attleboro. Thanks to the incredible generosity of our supporters, June Bloom 2026 surpassed expectations.
