ABOUT US
Paris Flynn MBA, SHRM-CP, graduate of Bryant University, founded the Wave Foundation in 2019. As a junior in high school, she noticed a lack of recognition for students with exceptional character and devotion to serving their community. She founded the Lighthouse Scholarship, which awarded $1000 to a student who carried themselves as a shining light of positivity to guide others and acted as a unifying member of their community. Since then, she has been working on forming a foundation that holds the same values and intents but serves on a larger scale.
Cape Ann Art Auction 2019
This event was brought to life to support local artists from the Cape Ann community while simultaneously donating to fund 3 scholarships for students who are affecting positive change in their communities.
Hosted at Bass Rocks Beach Club on July 31, 2019, with the help of a plethora of generous donors and community members, the auction raised a total of $3,000 to be put towards the education of local shining lights of positivity.
