Event Details

Thank you to everyone who joined us at our 2016 Celebration Breakfast! Your support will improve the lives of the nearly 2 million children living in New York City, including the half a million who live in poverty. You have helped us make sure that every child is healthy, housed, educated and safe. Because we do not accept government funding, we count on generous people like you to make our work possible.
