For decades, Billy Higgins of William Higgins Insurance Agency has quietly stood beside Julie’s Family Learning Program (Julie’s), stepping in whenever families needed support. Whether offering trusted guidance, ensuring critical resources were in place, or championing Julie’s mission behind the scenes, Higgins’ unwavering commitment has helped countless Boston-area families stay on their path toward education, stability, and opportunity.  

In recognition of this extraordinary dedication, Julie’s will present Higgins with its Angel Award at the organization’s annual Spring Gala on Thursday, April 9, 2026, at the UMass Club at One Beacon Street in Boston. 

“Billy is incredibly humble about his role, but his commitment has opened doors for generations of learners,” said Sharon Asiaf, Board President of Julie’s Family Learning Program. “His belief in our mission — and in the potential of every student — has translated into real opportunity and lasting change for families.”  

Thank you, Billy for all you do to empower learners, transform families, and build community!
