Thank you to The Boston Guardian for naming Dr. Robyn Riseberg Person of the Year. They saw in Dr. Riseberg what our community sees daily: a committed, compassionate, champion of children's health.

We are grateful to Dr. Riseberg for creating BCP to change the way healthcare is delivered to all children. Excited to see what 2026 will bring!

Holiday magic made the news! 🎄💙☃️🌟

Thank you to WBZ / CBS News Boston for covering our 5th Annual Holiday Shop and for sharing the stories of the amazing families we're honored to partner with!

Over 370 families shopped with dignity, met Santa, and left with gifts, groceries, and so much more. THIS is equity in pediatrics. 🎁🎅

Boston non-profit helped families bring joy home for Christmas with free gifts, food, and more on Saturday.

What an incredible weekend. Our team hasn’t stopped smiling 💙🎄☃️

Our 5th Annual Holiday Shop was our biggest and best yet and served 370 families (that’s over 1,000 people, including 756 children)!

Parents selected gifts for their children with care, dignity, and pride, in a space transformed into a festive wonderland. Volunteers wrapped each gift so families could give their children the experience of unwrapping something special - that they had selected for their children - on Christmas morning. Kids enjoyed photos with Santa and Curious George, activities in the kids' corner, cozy reading time, and photos with the Man in the Yellow Hat, and as always, grilled cheese from Roxy's food truck. 🧀💛

Every family went home with so much more than gifts: Target and Stop & Shop gift cards, gingerbread house kits to build together, hot cocoa, stocking stuffers, new books, hygiene products, lots of fresh produce, and shelf-stable groceries. But most importantly, they left knowing they are part of a community that is here to support them.

Thank you to our incredible partners, donors, and volunteers from the BCP Brigade and National Charity League, Inc. Wellesley Area Chapter, and the amazing team at BCP!

Day 1 of the Holiday Shop. The magic is real. 🎄💙

The doors are open, families are here, and the energy is everything we hoped for.

Parents are walking through a space transformed into a toy store, hand-selecting gifts their children will love. Kids are meeting Santa, taking photos in their Christmas outfits, playing in cozy reading areas, and making new friends.

And when families leave? The magic continues. They’re carrying more than wrapped gifts. They’re taking home gingerbread houses to build together as a family, stocking stuffers for each child, yummy hot cocoa cones, picture books to read, shelf-stable food, fresh produce, and gift cards for Target and Stop & Shop – plus the comfort of knowing their community is here to provide support, care, and connection. 🙏

This is what it looks like to bring joy and dignity together. This is equity in pediatrics. To every family walking through our doors this weekend: We’re honored to celebrate this season with you. ✨🫶

The magic is happening. 💙

Right now, volunteers are transforming a Boston space into something special: our 5th Annual Holiday Shop. 🎁🎄

Soon, hundreds of BCP families will walk through these doors to shop with dignity for gifts for their children, meet Santa, enjoy festive activities, and leave with holiday treats (gingerbread houses, stocking stuffers, and hot chocolate cones, among others) and other essentials like groceries, hygiene products to make the season bright.

This year has brought unprecedented challenges for families – rising costs, uncertainty about food and healthcare, and now there is the additional weight of making ends meet during the holidays. But this week, we're creating a space where families can experience joy, security, and the knowledge that their community truly cares.

The Holiday Shop isn't just an event. It's a reminder that when we invest in families, we invest in community, dignity, and care.

Thank you to every volunteer who has given their time, donated presents, and supported our work to make the Holiday Shop so special. You're building more than a shop – you're building moments and memories families will treasure. 💙

We're proud to announce that our Founder, Dr. Robyn Riseberg, has been honored with a 2026 Pinnacle Award for Achievement in Health Care by the Greater Boston Chamber of Commerce. 👏

This prestigious recognition celebrates her leadership in transforming pediatric healthcare through BCP's innovative model – one that puts patients first, reduces barriers to the highest-quality care, fully integrates mental health into primary care pediatrics, and addresses the social determinants of health that impact children and families every day.

Dr. Riseberg's commitment to equity, access, and comprehensive care has created a practice that invests deeply in kids, embraces a broader view of health, and strengthens our collective future.

Congratulations to Dr. Riseberg and to all of this year's honorees!

What happens when you put two passionate advocates on stage for a paddle raise? You raise the roof – and a lot of funds for families who need it most. 💙

Annie Coleman and Abi Goodman brought energy, heart, and authenticity to our 5th anniversary celebration. They reminded everyone in the room why BCP's work matters and why every child deserves access to comprehensive, high-quality care, no matter what.

The result? An incredible show of support that will make a real difference for the families we serve. In one room in one night, BCP raised over $500K bringing the 5th anniversary’s fundraising total to almost $1.5 million!

Annie and Abi—thank you for championing our mission with such passion and purpose. We couldn't have asked for better advocates to lead this moment. 🙌

We have a responsibility to our patients and our community to speak the truth: vaccines are safe, effective, and save lives.

Your gift goes TWICE as far today. 💙

At BCP, children's health is about more than check-ups. It's about experiencing the joys of childhood – holiday meals with family, unwrapping gifts on Christmas morning, and feeling the comfort of a community that cares.

This year, rising costs and uncertainty about access to food and healthcare are making the holidays especially challenging for families. That's where the BCP Holiday Shop comes in. 🎁✨

For our 5th annual Holiday Shop, we're creating the most magical experience yet for hundreds of families. Parents shop with dignity for gifts for their children, at no cost, that are then wrapped beautifully by volunteers. Kids enjoy activities, take photos with Santa, and make new friends in play areas. In addition to gifts, every family leaves with essentials like groceries and hygiene products, plus holiday treats such as stocking stuffers and a gingerbread house to make the season bright.

Most importantly? Everyone leaves knowing their community truly cares. 🫶🏻
