2018 Gala
Thank you to all of our guests and supporters who joined us at our 2018 Annual Gala on May 16 at 583 Park Ave to honor Diana and Joe DiMenna and NYC Council Speaker Corey Johnson.
Thanks to the generosity of our supporters, we were able to raise over $1,500,000, which will enable us to transform more schools and change more lives.
