Maxwell Perry
Maxwell Perry, 19, has always had a knack for entrepreneurship—he started a screen-printed T-shirt biz in middle school, then moved on to hawking homemade beef jerky in high school. Now, as a Babson College sophomore, he’s incorporating philanthropy as the founder of Beantown Blankets, a nonprofit that’s partnered with Father Bill’s shelters in Quincy and Brockton to give a blanket to a homeless person for every purchase. “Since launching the first week of June, our organization has provided 125 blankets to the homeless,” Perry says, noting that the Fall River-produced blankets are waterproof on one side and fleece on the other. “We hope to donate well over 1,000 by Christmas.”
