Alternative Break Silent Auction

Support Suffolk's Alternative Break programs by bidding on incredible items donated by local restaurants and businesses.  This auction will help our students who travel throughout the country and around the world to build homes, mentor youths, protect natural resources and spaces, and promote equality and freedom for their fellow citizens.

Boston Duck Tours

Meet at the Gould Shaw Memorial, across from the State House on Beacon Street.
Take a famous Boston Duck Tour through the city on an authentic, renovated World War II amphibious landing vehicle. As the best of Boston unfolds before your eyes, one of the legendary ConDUCKtors will be giving you lots of little known facts and interesting insights about this unique and wonderful city. And just when you think you've seen it all, it’s time for "Splashdown" as your ConDUCKtor splashes your DUCK right into the Charles River for a breathtaking view of the Boston and Cambridge skylines, the kind of view you just won't get anywhere else. For more information about the Duck Tours, please visit http://www.bostonducktours.com/.
