Good Apple Award

On Thursday, April 11, 2024, MA Appleseed held its Good Apple Award Reception at the Boston Harbor Hotel to celebrate and honor Yasmin Ghassab, Compliance Director at Vertex Pharmaceuticals. A civic leader, a pro bono champion, and a steadfast advocate of diversity and inclusion, Yasmin’s dedication to public service reminds us of the important role the legal community has in creating profound and positive change. She is truly a Good Apple and serves as an inspiration to us all.

All funds raised from this event fuel MA Appleseed’s work fighting for systemic change. Together, we are striving towards a just, fair future where all Massachusetts families and youth can exercise their legal rights, build pathways out of poverty and crisis, and thrive. If you weren’t able to attend, you can still support this work and make a donation here!
