Friends of the Westfield Athenaeum

Supporting the programs and services of the Westfield Athenaeum since 1996

Our Mission

The mission of the Friends is to support the programs and services of the Westfield Athenaeum through fundraising and volunteerism, and to raise the public awareness of the Athenaeum within the local community.

Dine Out For A Cause

Join us November 18th as we dine out to support the Friends of the Westfield Athenaeum at the Shortstop Bar and Grill in Westfield, MA. Present the printed or digital flyer when you order in or take out and Shortstop will donate a portion of the proceeds of your order to the Friends.

T-Shirts Featuring Logo Contest Winners Make Perfect Gifts

We loved the winners of our logo contest so much that we put them on T-shirts! Order through Bonfire in a range of colors and sizes; proceeds come back to the Friends and support Athenaeum programs and services. 

Please Join Us!
