Our History
BANE was established by some patriotic minded Bangladeshis from the New England area during the 1971 Independence War. As a result, BANE is one of the first Bangladesh Association in the entire USA with a long history of bringing the Bangladeshi community members together. BANE has been organizing various types of events, starting with charitable donation campaigns early in its history for the support of Bangladesh. In addition, BANE has also been holding cultural and family events throughout the years, to celebrate important occasions such as Bangladesh Independence Day, Bangladesh Victory Day, Amor Ekushey February, etc. During these events, cultural performances by community members have been arranged.
