Blake, president and CEO of Brockton-based HarborOne Credit Union, was recently honored at the Boys & Girls Club of Brockton 2011 "Black Tie and Tennis Shoes" gala.

The event raised more than $150,000 for the Boys & Girls Club of Brockton, according to a statement. The money raised will allow the club to meet its unrestricted operating needs in the fiscal year and cover the event’s expenses.

A portion of the proceeds from the event will go towards the George W. Baldwin Educational Enhancement Fund, which is designed and dedicated to create a pathway to college for the club’s young members.

"Even though economic conditions have had an impact on everyone in the area, the sponsors and attendees showed their support for the club and the 200 kids who attend every day," said Blake.
