The fund raises money to help Brookline kids get unique educational experiences through programs such as the Global Leadership Academy. The night featured food cooked up by Adams (above right), as well as local restaurants such as La Morra and the Regal Beagle. Other names at the party included 21st Century Fund director Jessica Conaway (second from right) and Adams’s friends Alden and Lisa Jackson.
