Skål Boston Honors David J. Colella and The Colonnade Hotel for 24 Years of Holiday Tradition & Giving

Skål Boston proudly celebrates David J. Colella and The Colonnade Hotel for their incredible 24 year commitment to hosting the Annual Holiday Luncheon. This cherished tradition has not only brought our industry together but has also made a lasting impact on local charities.

Through countless raffles, live auctions and generous donations, has raised an astounding $1,000,000! An achievement that was made possible from unwavering support of David, Skål members and partners.

David, your hard work and generosity will never be forgotten. We are honored to have collaborated with you to help those in our communities who need it most. You have demonstrated friendship, inclusivity and the core value of our industry - hospitality.

A heartfelt thank you to Immediate Past President of 2025 Stephanie Pappas and the Skål Boston 2025 Board for your leadership and commitment in reaching this milestone.

Here’s to many more years of giving back and making a difference.
