28th Annual BCIL Marie Feltin Award Ceremony
We invite you to support the BCIL Marie Feltin Award Ceremony, an event honoring individuals exemplifying the spirit of the late Dr. Marie Feltin, a tireless advocate for people with disabilities and those with chronic health conditions. She was a modern-day pioneer, helping found Boston’s Community Medical Group, East Boston Health Center’s Home Care Program, and the Urban Medical Group, focusing on care for marginalized and vulnerable populations.
The ceremony will be held on Wednesday, May 28 at 7:00 p.m. by Zoom. We elected to hold a virtual event because we’re putting much organizational energy into the rally and march we’re helping organize in Boston less than two months later – July 23 – to mark the 35th anniversary of the Americans with Disabilities Act.
The BCIL Marie Feltin Award Ceremony supports BCIL’s mission to empower individuals with disabilities to control their lives and live independently. We promote the civil rights of all people with disabilities and our energized services and advocacy advance equal access to healthcare, affordable housing, and transportation for thousands of Greater Boston residents, leading many to jobs, housing, and self-sufficiency. The 2025 honorees are:
Dianna Hu – Software Engineer by Day, Disability Activist by Life!
Kim Shellenberger– Dedicated Health Care Advocate & Builder of Vital Services and Programs.
Marie Gentile (posthumously) – Exemplar of Independent Living through courage, determination, and faith at home and in the community.
