Beyond his commitment to BHR, James Javaras is involved with the Worcester Art Museum, a cultural institution founded over a century ago. He supports the museum privately as a trustee emeritus and through his company as a corporate sponsor.

In May 2019, Mr. Javaras worked on the museum’s behalf as co-chair of its fundraising gala, which was styled to celebrate the works of Louis Comfort Tiffany and John La Farge. The event also incorporated a live auction and a special cocktail hour inspired by the Kentucky Derby.

In addition to his partnership with the Worcester Art Museum, Jim Javaras helps lead the United Way Tocqueville Society as chair, a position he’s held for a decade. The society was established in the late-1980s, and since its founding, it has raised many millions of dollars to improve people’s lives.
