(February 3, 2022) Nantucket Cottage Hospital is pleased to announce that Bruce and Elisabeth Percelay will serve as the event chairs for the 25^th Annual Boston Pops on Nantucket set for August 13^th, 2022.

As longtime Nantucket homeowners and island supporters, the Percelays will oversee Nantucket’s signature event of the summer, featuring the Boston Pops Esplanade Orchestra and a special guest to be announced at a later date, after a two-year hiatus brought by the COVID-19 pandemic.

The annual concert is the largest single fundraiser for Nantucket Cottage Hospital, with all the net proceeds generated during the event staying on Nantucket to sustain the hospital’s operations and its year-round commitment to the health and wellbeing of the island community.

Kennedy Institute for the United States Senate and as former chairman of the Massachusetts chapter of the Make-A-Wish Foundation.  Bruce is chairman and founder of the Mount Vernon Company, a real estate development company in Boston and chairman and publisher of N Magazine.
