FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE (9/15/06)

Back Bay Financial Group, Inc. (BBFG), of Boston, Wakefield, and Cape Cod, Mass., celebrated its Tenth Anniversary with clients and friends at the Colonnade Hotel. Nearly 175 people attended the celebration, which included a dinner and presentation by Dr. Paul Schervish, Professor of Sociology and Director of the Center on Wealth and Philanthropy at Boston College.

Dr. Schervish was named to the NonProfit Times “Power and Influence Top 50,” and he has published in the areas of philanthropy, the sociology of money and wealth, labor markets, and unemployment. He holds a Ph.D. in Sociology from the University of Wisconsin, Madison.

“This anniversary event was part celebration and part appreciation for our loyal clients,” said John LeBlanc, CFP^®, co-founder of Back Bay Financial Group. “Many of these clients have been with us for the entire 10 years. We wanted to thank them for partnering with us and help us celebrate this significant occasion.”

Robert Siefert, CFP^®, co-founder of BBFG, described the event as both social and educational. “Our clients seek advice and guidance from us. Arranging for them to listen to one of the area’s outstanding philanthropic speakers provides an opportunity to think about how wealth and good fortune can be used for the greater good.”
