Join us on Saturday, February 22 to celebrate a decades-old tradition among Yale seniors, in which, as a small but unmistakable act of defiance against the overlong New Haven winter, they throw a party somewhere on campus every night in the month of February.

Since 2007, alumni have joined in with “Feb Club Emeritus,” guaranteeing that there is a Yale party somewhere in the world every night in February. Feb Club Emeritus has only three rules: No speeches. No fundraising. It's just a party.

Come join us for the most raucous party on our calendar. We’ve reserved the balcony at Scholars, a restaurant-bar-nightclub (depending on what time you get there) from 7:30-10 pm. We’ll provide shared appetizers and one drink token per person for the cash bar. Following the event, attendees are welcome to continue socializing downstairs at the main bar/dance floor.

Admission is $20 per person for dues-paying Yale Club of Boston members and $30 for non-members. Each ticket admits one person, and comes with one drink token (redeemable at the bar) and shared appetizers.

Spread the word to all your Yale friends – we can’t wait to celebrate with you!

(Please note:  after you complete the initial form, please be sure to continue to your cart to complete your registration.)

Please join our group of volunteers on Saturday, February 8 at Room to Grow, an organization that supports parents and caregivers during their children’s critical early years.

This event, originally scheduled for Thursday, September 26, was postponed due to rainy weather.

Every fall, the Yale Club of Boston hosts a reception to welcome new alumni and Yale-affiliated newcomers to Boston. It's a great opportunity to connect with new and familiar Yale faces, many of whom are recent graduates.

The Yale Club of Boston will hold its annual golf outing on Sunday, October 13. This year, we will play at the wonderful Fall River Country Club (map), a beautiful course with water views from most of the holes.

The event will include lunch at the snack shop, 18 holes of golf, a cart, prizes and an awards dinner.

The President's Cup is a mildly competitive event in which each foursome is a team. It is a best ball format:  a team’s score for a hole is determined by the lowest individual net score.  To facilitate this, we will contact registered players to ask you for your handicap. If you don’t have one, please tell us your typical score for 18 holes and we’ll assign one. We will tee off at about 1 pm.  If we have enough players, the event will be a shotgun. The winning foursome will take home the prestigious President’s Cup.

The  cost is $150 for Yale Club of Boston members and their guests, and $160 for non-members and their guests. If you can’t stay for the dinner, choose “Tournament Only” and save $25.

In order to make the proper arrangements with the Club, we need to have all sign-ups by Friday, September 27. If there is rain, we will reschedule for October 20.

There will be various contests with modest (voluntary) fees associated with them. Proceeds will be used to fund the Yale Community Service Fellowship program.

Please each out to golf@yaleboston.org if you have any questions.

Due to severe weather conditions, the Yale Club of Boston Welcome Event for today has been canceled. We are actively working on rescheduling the event and will notify you once a new date is confirmed. Your current tickets will remain valid for the rescheduled event. If we are unable to reschedule, a full refund will be issued.

YaleBoston is proudly involved in the Yale Alumni Community Service Fellowship (YACSF).  Each summer, we host and sponsor Yale undergraduates who receive a fellowship to work at community-oriented nonprofits.  This year, we are hosting two fantastic interns:  one is working at Preservation of Affordable Housing and one is working at the Frederick Law Olmsted National Historic Site.

 There is no entrance fee or charge for the tours. 

Please register here to help us with headcount. As a courtesy to the site, we would like to limit our group to 25 people.

Birthday Wishes’ mission is to provide birthday parties to children experiencing homelessness. Birthday Wishes believes that all children, regardless of their living situation, should celebrate their birthdays joyfully, surrounded by family, friends, and others who care. You can help make this happen for those children! Each Birthday-in-a-Box will be delivered to a homeless child and their family unit (up to 6-8 people) while they are staying at a homeless shelter.

We will gather virtually via Zoom on Sunday June 9th to watch a video about Birthday Wishes, get instructions on how to build a Birthday in a Box, and then build our boxes together from the comfort of our own homes. This project involves some upfront shopping, and volunteers can opt to deliver their finished boxes in advance or join us to drop off boxes at Birthday Wishes headquarters in Natick on Monday afternoon, June 10.
