BOGG in the Community

We are so proud to be active in the Western Massachusetts community!

Rays of Hope Walk
Since 2007 we have been a proud Rays of Hope Water Stop/Cheering Station sponsor!  We have been fortunate to support the walkers during this wonderful event to raise money in the fight against breast cancer, moving towards a cure.  Our practice usually organizes a team of walkers from our staff and their families as well! 

Dress Down for Charity
Every quarter, our employees select a different charity who will be the beneficiary of staff donations when they have the opportunity to dress down on Fridays.

Past Events

Special Olympics Jolly Jaunt
For many years, BOGG staff participated as volunteer staff for Special Olympics largest local fundraiser. our very own nurses and medical assistants revolutionized the once cumbersome and slow registration process, so that the runners and walkers could quickly get through the registration line and start having fun! Many BOGG family members also participated, working as greeters and just making sure that everyone has a jolly time.

Holiday Giving
For a number of years our offices organized around the holiday season to work with local charities, particularly those who assist families in need during the holiday season. Our staff truly enjoyed giving back to the community and found joy in spreading the spirit of the holiday season.

Rays of Hope Golf Tournament
BOGG was a proud sponsor of the 2010 Rays of Hope Golf Tournament. This event brought together men and women of all golfing abilities to support the fight against breast cancer.

 

BOGG offices will be CLOSED on Monday 1/26/2026 due to the winter storm.
