Dreams are a powerful tool in changing people’s lives. Not just the lives of the people who fulfill their dreams, but

also the lives of everyone around them who are touched by that dream.

Martin Luther King, Jr. had a dream that led to people of color being treated more equally. President Kennedy’s

dream landed a man on the moon. Susan B. Anthony’s dream was to be allowed to vote. And Steve Jobs? Without

his dream an Apple would still be just an apple.

Dreams are a wonderful thing. And wonderful things can happen when people dream. But for many children living

in poor neighborhoods and in single parent homes, dreaming isn’t so easy to do.

Fortunately for them, there are people in this world like you. Because of your support, many of our city’s underserved

children are not only learning how to dream, but how to work to achieve their dreams. In the following pages of this

year’s annual report, you’ll see just a few examples of the many young people you’ve already helped to realize their

dreams — both big and small.

BBBS of NYC also has a dream. We strive to continue to be the premier mentoring organization, now with a stronger

commitment to supporting our Littles’ education. We know that in order for our Littles to achieve their dreams,

they must first achieve academic success. And we also know that the more young lives our programs can touch, the

better their chance to make positive life changes — changes that can a!ect their families, communities, and future

generations. That’s why our dream is to increase the number of New York City’s youth we serve by 30% in the next

five years.

It’s a big dream. But we think it’s an important one. Because if we don’t, thousands of children might not get the

chance to dream at all.

Thank you for helping Big Brothers Big Sisters of NYC, and our Littles, dream big.

How our New American Program benefits the rest of the family. Dreams are contagious. When siblings see a Little working towards a dream, they are inspired to do the same thing. Parents also have the added support system of another adult ready to offer guidance, support, and direction to their child.

Ronnie was having a tough time at home. The oldest in the family, she had no

one with whom to have regular conversations. Fortunately, The Chinese American Planning

Council convinced her that becoming a Little would be a good thing for her to do.

“A year ago, I had no idea what BBBS of NYC was – what

it would be like,” Ronnie confided. “But I can honestly say

becoming a Little made a significant change in my life

after just the first day.”

Ronnie came to the US about six years ago. Unable to

speak any English, she had to learn it on her own. Having

a Big who is also Asian really helped her. As Ronnie

explains, “Alice helps me understand American culture vs.

Chinese culture. She gives me a good perspective based

on her own experiences.”

Since Ronnie and Alice were both interested in science

and technology, Alice thought the tech event Maker

Faire would be a good first day together. “I saw a

demonstration of 3-D printing and had the chance to

control a robot.” Ronnie continues, “After this trip, I was

inspired to pursue a career in technology.”

Today, with Alice’s help, Ronnie is enrolled in the Code

Now Program, a non-profit tech program for high school

students. And she’s saving her money from her part-time

job in a bakery to buy her dream robot kit.

“Alice is a positive female role model for me,” Ronnie

said. “She’s not only shown me that women can get

great jobs in the field of technology, she taught me

how to bowl.”

“Ronnie reminds me of myself when I was younger.”

Alice goes on to explain, “Not many girls are interested

in technology. Since that is my field, I was thrilled to be

matched with someone with the exact same interests.”

When asked why she became a Big, Alice explains,

“I never had an older sibling to share experiences

with. Even though we’ve only been together for a few

months, I can already see the impact I’m having on

Ronnie’s life. This is a great program for immigrant kids.”

How our Traditional Mentoring Program helps the School When kids have a dream, they’re more focused on doing everything they can to achieve it. Their attendance in school improves. Their grades stabilize or go up. And they’re more likely to graduate and go on to college. When other classmates see Littles working harder in school, many decide to follow.

Wanting Ruben to have a positive role model in his life, his mom brought

him to BBBS of NYC when he was just 9 years old. Although he found the prospect

of having a Big Brother exciting, Ruben had already experienced so much disappointment at his

young age that he thought this was just one more thing that would never be.

“Meeting my Big for the first time was like going to a

new school. It was both exciting and scary.” Ruben adds,

“I didn’t really have any expectations of what it would be

like having a Big Brother, but today I really feel like Eric is

my big brother. He’s part of my family now.”

“For kids who don’t have much, having a Big is a great

opportunity.” Ruben explains, “Being part of BBBS of

NYC really motivates you to try new things.” One thing it

motivated Ruben to do was to attend a summer camp in

New Hampshire. Eric was able to get Ruben a scholarship

to the same camp that he went to when he was a kid.

“Here I am thirteen years old and never been out of New

York City.” Ruben says, “Suddenly I’m on my way to a

camp in New Hampshire.”

When Ruben arrived at Camp Deerwood he learned that

in order to participate in the camp’s water activities he

would have to complete a six hundred yard swim across

the lake. (For those of us who are not so good at math,

that’s the equivalent of swimming twelve lengths of an

Olympic-sized pool.) Unfortunately, Ruben had a near

drowning experience when he was younger and never

learned to swim. But according to Ruben, “My dream was

to make it across that lake before I left camp.” And he was

determined to do it. At first he was nervous.

He was short and the water was deep. But every day

the counselors worked with him to help him overcome

his fear. Three days before he left camp, he stepped into

the water and began swimming towards his dream.

When asked if that was his most memorable

experience as a Little, Ruben quickly responded,

“No, it was when I beat Eric at a game of basketball.”

Eric, on the other hand, can’t seem to recall that event

ever happening.

“I wanted to be a role model for someone. What

I didn’t realize was how rewarding and gratifying it

would be for me as well.” Eric continued, “Helping

others who aren’t as fortunate as you really puts

things in perspective.”

What does Eric remember most about his four years as

Ruben’s Big? “Ruben was in the hospital and I would

stop by and visit with him every day,” Eric said.

“It sounds like such a simple thing, but after he

recovered, Ruben told me that he wouldn’t

have been able to get through it without me.

I was so touched.”

How our Young Mother’s Mentoring Program a!ects the rest of the city. When kids have a dream to work towards they graduate high school, attend college, and join the workforce ready to make a positive impact on society. They become financially independent, productive citizens.

And when they become adults, Littles are more likely to become volunteers. Ready to help others as others have helped them. It all starts with a dream. And somebody willing to help them achieve it.

Pregnant at 15. Dropped out of high school her freshman year. Ilia was on her way to

becoming another statistic. Instead she found her way to BBBS of NYC.

When Ilia was matched with her Big, she was already

seventeen and a mom. “I didn’t expect much from having

a Big,” Ilia confesses. “But now I doubt that I would be

where I am today without Nicole.”

When asked how Nicole impacted her life, Ilia explains,

“I call Nicole first if I need anything. She’s my go-to

person.” Ilia continued, “Whether I need help with school

work, my job, a resume, Nicole is always there for me.

Always pushing me to move forward. Encouraging me

to continue.”

Since her match with Nicole, Ilia has already passed the

General Educational Development (GED) test to earn her

high school equivalency. She will earn her associate’s

degree by the end of the year. In addition to going to

school and being a mom, Ilia also works to help support

her and her daughter.

“Nicole mentored by example,” said Ilia. “I saw what she

did and was inspired to follow. She helped me broaden

my horizon.” As soon as she earns her associate’s degree,

Ilia plans on transferring to the City University of

New York to get her Bachelors and then her Masters in

Child Psychology. “Thanks to Nicole,” Ilia says excitedly,

“I realized this wasn’t something beyond my reach.”

Today, Ilia introduces Nicole to everyone as her sister,

not her friend. “She’s not just my Big, she’s my family,”

explains Ilia.

“I always enjoyed doing volunteer work with my

company, but those were one day things,” Nicole says as

she explains why she became a Big. “I was looking for

something more meaningful. I wanted to do something

that had a more lasting e!ect.”

So what did she think when she became Ilia’s Big?

“I wasn’t really sure about working with a young

mother. I was only twenty-nine. I thought it was going

to be really hard for me.” Nicole continued, “I had no

idea how much I would enjoy spending time with her.

She’s one of my best friends at this point.”

Of course, Ilia isn’t the only one that has learned some

valuable lessons from their time together. “Now I have

a completely di!erent perspective on someone else’s

experience,” Nicole says. “It reminds me that everyone is

going through something di!erent. I need to

cut people some slack.”

How our Workplace Mentoring Program a!ects others in the workplace. Helping a young person work towards his or her dream doesn’t just affect the Little. It affects everyone involved. In fact, companies in our Workplace Mentoring Program report that participating employees are more dedicated and loyal, and their involvement in the program boosts employee morale. And when Littles know they have so many people in their corner, they’re encouraged to work even harder towards making their dreams a reality.

As Littles in the Workplace Mentoring Program, these high school seniors created a

mentoring program at their school to help reduce the amount of fighting among students.

For the past four years, Maria, Michelle, Brenda, Yesenia,

as well as several of their male classmates, have been

paired with Bigs. During that time they’ve gotten a taste

of life after high school. “We’ve learned about colleges,

networking, we’ve practiced public speaking,” says

Yesenia. Maria quickly added, “We’ve even done mock

interviews to learn how to talk and express ourselves

when we look for a job.”

But of all the skills they’re learning, they realized there

was one that they didn’t have to wait until after high

school to use — mentoring. “Like most schools there

was a lot of fighting among the students.” Maria explains,

“So we all decided to start a peer mentoring program

to see if we could get everyone to agree not to fight.”

Whenever a fight would break out, the kids involved

would be brought into a room with a trained mediator to

talk the issue out rather than resort to fighting. Brenda

proudly exclaims, “Since the start of our mentoring

program, fighting in our school has decreased significantly.”

Buoyed by their success, the girls decided not to stop

there. “We also started a Big Sis, Little Sis program

at our school.” Yesenia continues, “We team up

students who are Juniors with our Freshmen to be

their mentors while they’re in school.” Adds Michelle,

“It’s someone they can talk to about any problems

they’re having, if they need help with their studies,

or just need a friend.” Obviously, these girls really

learned a lot from their workplace mentors, including

how to be one themselves.

Keyanna was one of our youngest Littles. Hoping to give her the chance to do

more than just sit at home, Keyanna’s mom signed her up with BBBS of NYC when she

was just seven years old.

“The first time I met my Big we went to the Central Park

Zoo. I had never been there before.” Keyanna said, “I didn’t

know what having a Big was going to be like. I didn’t

realize it would be so much fun. I thought it would only

be in-home activities, not going out and doing things.”

“Where I live, I can’t safely ride a bike, ” Keyanna

explained, “so when we went to Governor’s Island and I

saw all these people riding bikes, I asked Madelyne if we

could, too.” Since Keyanna never really rode a bike before,

she had to ride with training wheels. Even so, Keyanna

enjoyed it so much that riding a bike became a part of

almost every outing they went on together. And during

these trips, riding a bike wasn’t all that Keyanna was

learning. “I was having trouble with math. Subtraction

was hard. I needed to use my hands to add,” Keyanna

confided. “Madelyne would bring math books and we

would work on my math together.”

It took a long time for Keyanna to build up her confidence

but eventually she announced to Madelyne that she

was ready to live out her dream and ride a bike without

training wheels. “I was really scared that I would fall,”

Keyanna admitted. “But having Madelyne right beside

me made it easier. I was so proud of myself.” And Keyanna

wasn’t the only one. “When I told my family what I did,”

she added, “my mother and my older brothers were

really proud of me, too!”

“My children were all grown,” said Madelyne as she

explained why she became a Big. “I thought I could

use my experience as a mom to have a positive impact

on another child’s life.” It turns out Madelyne actually

got more back than she gave. According to Madelyne,

“Seeing New York City through the eyes of a child has

been life-enhancing.”

What moment stands out most during her time as

Keyanna’s Big? “Our first trip to the Metropolitan

Museum of Art,” Madelyne explains. “Keyanna

was enthralled with modern art. She gave me

her interpretations of each piece. It was such a

heartwarming experience.”

How our Juvenile Justice Mentoring Program helps the rest of the community. With our programs kids are started on a path that can help them achieve their dreams. The positive influence from Bigs helps them avoid getting into trouble, joining gangs, or breaking the law and encourages them to help others.

Growing up in a home where her Mom was both Mom and Dad, Emily faced

emotional challenges. A believer that mentorship programs, counseling, and therapy can

be remedies to life’s challenges, her mother reached out to BBBS of NYC.

“I became a Little at the age of nine,” Emily says of her

experience with BBBS of NYC. “The positive influence

I received during this time has encouraged me to play

the same role in another child’s life.”

Although they don’t communicate as much now as they

did when Emily was younger, her Big, Deena, made an

everlasting impression on Emily’s life. “She exposed me

to arts and crafts, theater, animals, history, and modern

dance. She opened my eyes to a lot that existed,” Emily

says fondly. ”Although I was only a Little, even back then

I knew I wanted to be someone else’s ‘Deena’ someday.”

Emily believes her successes in life are the direct result

of the positive influence Deena had. “Deena was

compassionate, loving, and a resource,” Emily said.

“Thanks to her I was admitted to an amazing high school

in New York (The Beacon School), attended a great

college (Canisius College), and will be pursuing graduate

studies at Georgetown University.”

“My dream has always been to inspire,” Emily continues.

“I am happy to finally become a Big and have the

opportunity to encourage a Little to dream Big.

It makes me feel like I’m making a di!erence.”

“My brother already had a Big. I thought it would be

nice to also have one,” Briana explains. “I was hoping

to get someone I could talk to. Someone I could

look up to.”

Twelve-year old Briana is very excited about their

match. “ We’re both Latina. She was once a Little.

We have a lot in common,” says Briana. “By having the

same background, she can relate to what my life is like.

And with her as my role model, I can dream of what

my life can be like in the future.”

How our Children of Promise Mentoring Program a!ects the rest of the community. This program is for children between the ages of five and eighteen who have an incarcerated parent or caregiver. They are referred by community agencies that work with families where a parent has been sentenced.

“All I really wanted by having a Big was to get out of

the house more. Have more freedom,” Justin admitted.

“But I got so much more out of it than that.”

Soon after being matched with Byron, Justin confided in

him that he wanted to become more confident speaking

in front of others. Referring to his speech di"culties,

Justin said, “I was really shy talking in front of other

people. I really wanted to overcome that.”

To help him work towards his dream, Byron decided to

bring Justin to the HSBC Writing Workshop. To Byron’s

surprise, after a few exercises Justin quickly became one

of the first Littles to always raise his hand and volunteer

to share his stories. And once he heard the applause, his

confidence soared. When asked what his plans are for the

future Justin quickly responded, “I want to study film.”

That’s quite a leap forward for a shy teenager who used

to have trouble talking in front of people.

So what’s his favorite memory so far from being a Little?

“Going with Byron to Great Adventure and making him

ride on all the roller coasters with me,” Justin exclaimed.

Turns out, Byron isn’t a big fan of roller coasters, but he

wasn’t going to let his Little show him up.

“You never know the impact you can have on others,”

Byron explains. “What seems insignificant to you can be

something really big to someone else.”

As for his expectations for being a Big, Byron confides,

“I was a little worried about who I would be matched

to. I was thrilled to meet Justin.” Byron continued,

“It really is a true friendship. We’ve become a part of

each other’s lives.”

So what is Byron’s fondest memory of being a Big?

It was when Justin called him on his birthday. Byron

said, “I was just so touched that he remembered.”

Iris was a paralegal in a corporate law firm. “As a Latino woman I was very lucky. Many in my community never go to college or even out of the neighborhood,” Iris explained. “I wanted to give back to my community in some way.”

The giving back started when she walked through the doors at BBBS of NYC. By becoming a Big, she had the opportunity to dramatically a!ect the lives of two Littles. “The fact that one lived right in the city and had never been to Central Park was a real eye opener,” says Iris. “I knew then I wanted to dedicate my life to helping others.”

While she was a Big, Iris noticed something interesting about the Latino community. “Many minority parents wanted Bigs who had the same ethnicity as their children,” Iris explained. “If parents speak Spanish and the Bigs don’t, how can they communicate?” Unfortunately, in the Latino community, there weren’t a lot of volunteers to become mentors. Which meant many kids couldn’t get matched. “Some Latino Littles were on the waiting list for as long as a year,” exclaimed Iris. “Over time they lost interest in being a Little. This is where the idea of forming the BBBS of NYC a"nity group Latino Bigs came from.”

It started with fifteen people putting their heads together to figure out how to increase volunteerism among the Latino community. Thanks to the community programs and events created by Latino Bigs, the percentage of volunteers and Latino mentors increased by 87% in just three years.

Wanting to do even more, Iris also launched the Bronx Volunteer Coalition because there weren’t enough volunteers in her Bronx neighborhood to mentor all the kids who wanted one.

Realizing that being a paralegal wasn’t her true calling, Iris quit her job and enrolled in the NYU grad school for public service full-time. “What I’ve done impacted people,” Iris said proudly. “I can see the good I’ve done in the community. And I want to continue doing it.”

Iris wasn’t the only one who saw the positive impact she was having on the community. Last year, she was honored by Comite Noviembre for her volunteer service to her community.

Being a Big fueled her desire to do more. That’s when Elandria decided to quit her job and go back to school to earn her Master’s in Public Administration. “Initially I planned on working full-time and attending grad school part-time,” Elandria explains. “But then I decided I didn’t want to wait that long so I became a full-time student instead.”

In addition to being a Big alumni, Elandria was also one of the first members of the BBBS of NYC A"nity group, Bigs United. Using her marketing expertise, she’s helped Bigs United develop programs and community events to help communicate the importance of becoming a black role model to the youth in their community.

Looking back Elandria admits, “Advertising just wasn’t what I saw myself doing for the rest of my life. Being a Big and being part of Bigs United has been a much more fulfilling experience.”

ELANDRIA’S STORY CONTINUED...

Helping others is in Candice’s DNA. Whether it was

tutoring, community service, or becoming a Big, it was

always an important part of her life. Candice just didn’t

realize how important helping was.

According to Candice, “When you become a Big you only

think it’ll impact a Little’s life. You don’t expect it to have

an impact on your life as well.” But after several years

as a Big with two di!erent Littles, Candice found that

the experience changed her. “It solidified my passion

for public service. I wanted to take it to the next level,”

Candice explained. “I wanted to be more involved in

helping others outside of being a Big.”

That’s when Candice decided to do something few of us

would ever be brave enough to do. She quit her job at

Comedy Central. And went back to school full-time to get

her Master’s in Public Administration.

Even though her role as a Big had come to an end when

she started school, Candice continued to look for other

ways to help BBBS of NYC. She found it in one of our

A"nity Groups — Bigs United. “As one of the leaders

of Bigs United, I help BBBS of NYC reach out to the black

community to encourage and attract positive role models

for black youth.” Candice continues, “Since they have the

same background and experiences as the youth in their

communities, it’s very important to reach out to black

men and encourage them to become Bigs. We would

go out and hold special events like our Black History

event to educate them on the rewards of being a Big

and encourage them to join.” As Candice sees it, “Even though I’m no longer an

active Big, I’m still doing something to help someone.

Just in a di!erent way.”

Going from successful advertising executive at a

New York marketing firm to full-time student may

seem like a big career move to a lot of people, but to

Elandria it made perfect sense.

“I was only twenty-three when I first became a Big,”

Elandria said. “I wasn’t sure if I was ready, but decided

to take the plunge.” Elandria was a Big to her Little

for eight years. Over the course of the relationship

she learned patience and empathy. She also learned

something else. “Being a Big didn’t just have an

impact on my Little, it had an impact on me.” Elandria

confided, “I felt like I was really contributing to a

mission. Planting a seed. Investing in something.”

HELPING KIDS WHO NEED A FEW LESSONS

TO HELP THEM DREAM BIG.

HELPING ADULTS WHO DREAM OF BECOMING BETTER AT HELPING KIDS.

Our Education Initiative provides the resources and

support our Littles need to achieve academic success.

In partnership with the City University of New York’s

College Now program, Signet Tutoring, and Graph It

Forward, we o!er academic enrichment programs to

all of our Littles that include comprehensive college-

readiness workshops for high school Littles. We also have

computer tutoring stations for Littles to work on school

projects, study various academic subjects, and prepare

for the SAT and ACT. For our struggling Littles, we create

thoughtful action-oriented academic intervention plans.

The goal of BBBS of NYC’s Center for Training and Professional Development (the Center) is to help professionals develop formalized mentoring programs; to assist youth-serving organizations in developing, expanding, and improving their organizations; and to provide professional workshops to enhance personal and organizational goals.

The Mentoring Supervisor Certificate Program (MSC Program), created and administered together with the Fordham University Graduate School of Social Service, is for youth practitioners and social service professionals to assist in developing, implementing, expanding or improving a mentoring program.

To bring our proven modality of mentoring to the

forefront of New York City education, we have launched

a Community Impact program to provide 6th and 7th

grade students within one school community with a Big

until they enter high school. We plan on launching a high

school Community Impact program in the spring of 2014.

We take a holistic approach to education that involves

working with our partners, parents, families, support

sta!, Bigs and schools to support our Littles.

Our Professional Development Workshop Series o!ers the sta! of social service organizations stand-alone workshops taught by experts in the fields of non-profit management, human resources, and social work.

Internally, the Center o!ers basic training for inquiring prospects for our Community Based Volunteers. It provides ongoing on-line learning opportunities for all accepted volunteers via e-learning modules, webinars, and forums. And also conducts Program Sta! Orientation and additional sta! training as needed.

For all the thousands of kids who join our program every year, there are thousands more

who can’t. There just aren’t enough Bigs to go around. And since many parents request that

their child be matched to someone with the same background or ethnicity, the demand for

minority volunteers is constantly growing. Here are a few of the groups that are working to

help us raise awareness in every community of the city.

A"nity Groups consist of former Bigs, current Bigs, and people who just believe in the cause. They have

monthly meetings, hold special community events, and talk to people in their neighborhoods to spread the

word and attract recruits.

Its two hundred seventy-five members

focus on reaching out to residents of Latino

neighborhoods. In addition to forming

partnerships with the Latino A"nity Networks at Ogilvy, Avon, Cablevision,

and Macy’s, they also work with Tri-Latino,

Phi Iota Alpha, Alpha Phi Alpha, and the

United Latino Professionals.

With a focus on our city’s Asian immigrant community, this a"nity group has helped many young Asian immigrant youth feel more comfortable in their new country. Its three hundred ninety members also focus on fostering stronger bonds between Bigs, Littles, and their families.

Finding volunteers who are interested

in being positive role models to our city’s

black youth is the goal for this a"nity

group. With four hundred fourteen members, it’s the largest of the A"nity

groups and the dedication of its members

has helped recruit many new Bigs.

AFFINITY GROUPS

LATINO BIGS

ASIAN MENTORING COMMITTEE

BIGS UNITED Although no longer matched with a Little, these Bigs continue to help us by sharing their stories, experiences, and advice with new Bigs as they go through the initial orientation and training sessions before they become matched. Alumni Bigs also volunteer their time to mentor our new mentors. In addition, this year we launched our Littles Alumni program, encouraging Littles to maintain a lifelong relationship with the agency.

ALUMNI NETWORK

Over the course of the year, this group of volunteers holds a variety of fundraising and recruitment activities. Since its inception, this group has raised hundreds of thousands of dollars in donations for BBBS of NYC.

THE YOUNG PROFESSIONALS COMMITTEE

EVERY KID DESERVES TO DREAM.

23

This past October, Big Brothers Big Sisters of New York City was chosen as one

of thirteen charities to compete in a voter-chosen competition to secure the

agency a place as beneficiary of proceeds from Soho store Treasure & Bond.

During the voting time period, the Agency orchestrated a GOTV campaign that

included hosting a Halloween-themed party for our matches, a happy hour for

our a"nity groups and social media awareness to drive tra"c and voters to

the store. After a competitive shopper-voting process, Big Brothers Big Sisters

of New York City was chosen as one of two partner charities receiving 100% of

the profits from the sales at the store from February 1st to April 30th.

TREASURE & BOND

28% of the children in BBBS of NYC’s programs live in the Bronx, but only 4% of our Bigs live there. The Bronx Volunteer Coalition was formed to help us close the gap. Made up of over thirty diverse volunteer organizations including Jumpstart, the Bronx Museum, Lift - The Bronx, and South Bronx United, this coalition was founded in 2012.

BRONX VOLUNTEER COALITION

The Agency headed out to Whole Foods on January 10th during National Mentoring Month, canvassing each of Manhattan’s seven stores for 5% Day benefiting BBBS of NYC. Whole Foods donated 5% of the day’s proceeds totaling over $68,500 to the agency to benefit our Programs. In addition to this day of giving, Whole Foods worked with us throughout the year, holding cooking lessons for our matches at its Bowery Culinary Center location and generously donating water for our annual Race for the Kids.

COMMUNITY PARTNERSHIPS

PROOF THAT IT CAN BE FUN HELPING KIDS DREAM.

Accountants &Bankers Reception This annual event honors one accountant and

one banker who have served their community

with distinction. Executives from a variety

of industries join us at the Harmonie Club,

to network and show their support for these

accounting and banking heroes.

To help put the “fun” in our fundraising, a number of special events are held all over the city every year.

In addition to networking and socializing, these events give attendees an opportunity to hear about the

positive changes they’re helping us accomplish — not just in the lives of our Littles and Bigs, but in their

families, schools, and local communities. Without our individual, corporate and foundation funders, and

event attendees, our dream of helping New York City’s kids would not be possible.

RBC Race for the Kids — Part of Nickelodeon’s Worldwide Day of Play Held in Riverside Park on Manhattan’s Upper West Side, this Run/Walk celebrates the power of mentoring with over three thousand five hundred participants. Joined by their families and other caring New Yorkers, matches enjoy a fun-filled day that also encourages healthy living.

Big Night Out This annual black tie fundraiser held by our Young Professionals Committee includes dancing, casino games, poker tournament, and a silent auction. Held at Cipriani Wall St., it attracts over nine hundred young professionals.

Casino Jazz Night Real Estate Dinner Honoring select members of New York City’s real estate industry for their philanthropic contributions, this summer event attracts the “movers and shakers” in commercial real estate and finance. Guests partake in casino games and the fabulous fare of Cipriani 42nd Street.

Invitational Golf Outing A round of golf at an exclusive club brings out members of the domestic and international hedge fund community. This annual event includes a cocktail reception, dinner, and live auction.

Tournament of Champions Pong Held annually, ToC Pong takes place at Grand Central Station’s Vanderbilt Hall and hosts thirty-two teams from within the financial community. An all-glass court allows spectators to see all the action.

Gridiron GamesHeld every November at the Metlife Stadium, it’s the day when Littles and Bigs can play football on a professional field, tour the locker room, and even meet retired NFL players. That afternoon top NYC law firm members compete in a touch football tournament.

Sidewalks of NY Annual Awards DinnerHeld at New York City’s Waldorf=Astoria

in April, this is our signature gala event.

Matches come to share wonderful stories

and present awards to honorees. Over the

years, honorees have included members of

the media, corporate and sports worlds.
