Wishing you a joyous holiday week from everyones favorite place to meet... the Rhode Island Convention Center. 🎄

The Rhode Island Convention Center & Amica Mutual Pavilion is proud to have partnered with Tides Family Services this year for our annual Adopt a Family. This year we adopted 10 children under age 14 who live directly in Providence/Pawtucket and surpassed our last years donation with over 135 gifts! Additionally each mom got stockings full of self care items.

The generosity of our employees brings together over 10 different departments for a cause that gives back directly to our community. Thank you to our staff and team members who felt connected to this cause and made it a huge success!

It was a BIG weekend of competition at the Rhode Island Convention Center as JVC Volleyball makes a return to start the season with the Wicked Good Challenge. 🏐
