Boston brought the Brown and Gold spirit! 💛🤎

What a night celebrating 150 years of Hathaway Brown! This past Tuesday, September 15, 63 alumnae gathered at the Harvard Club of Boston for an evening of connection, conversation, and celebration.

From reconnecting with old friends to meeting fellow Blazers across generations, the evening was a beautiful reminder that no matter where life takes you after HB, the Brown and Gold connection travels with you.

A special thank you to our alumnae hosts, moderator, and panelists who helped make the evening so meaningful, and to everyone who joined us to celebrate this milestone year.

Boston, thank you for showing up for HB! Here’s to 150 years of Blazers, friendships, and connections that span generations. ✨

🚗✨ Meet Grill Bits, our first Brown Bag Community Spotlight!

We’re excited to launch a new series celebrating HB family-owned businesses and the creativity, entrepreneurship, and accomplishments found throughout our community.

This month, say hello to Grill Bits, founded by Denise Wood Hahn ’88! What started as an idea several years ago grew into prototypes, a patent, manufacturing partnerships, and ultimately a business bringing a little more personality to the road. Grill Bits creates fun, decorative car grill inserts that are easy to install and designed to make your vehicle stand out.

And this business has plenty of Brown and Gold behind it! 💛🤎

Three generations of HB:
Lynn Voran Wood ’57
Denise Wood Hahn ’88
Skylar Voran Hahn ’17

Three generations. One special HB connection.
Check out Grill Bits at grillbits.com.

Have an HB family-owned business of your own? We’d love to hear from you! Email [email protected] to be considered for a future Brown Bag Community Spotlight.

The Brown Bag is run 100% by volunteers, and all Brown Bag purchases fund HBPA activities.
