Fall Fundraiser
On November 27th, Elevate New York held its Fall Fundraiser at Yotel Hotel in midtown.
Guests heard compelling stories from our students and partners, and learned more about our holistic work, that includes teaching 13 character qualities and life skills to the students we serve. Among the night’s attendees were actor Sharif Atkins and his co-host Bethany Hotchkiss, Colorodo UpLift CEO Mike Painter, founding Elevate board member and the evening’s keynote speaker Andrew DeCurtis, advisory board member Bryan Abreu, model Willie Bradford, singer Kate Nauta, and Instinet President for the Americas Jonathan Kellner.
Overall, the evening was a wonderful success. We reached 1/3 of our goal for the evening, and raised over $100,000 to support our work that Elevates the lives of students in New York City. Thanks to the generosity of our donors at the event, we will now be able to hire an additional full-time teacher for the upcoming year, allowing us to expand the number of students we work with and to more effectively serve, our current students.
New School
BACK TO SCHOOL!!!
We are excited to have launched the new school year, working with 25 students at Bronx Studio School for Writers and Artists.
Last year was a successful year at Banana Kelly High School, and we were thrilled that 39 of our 44 seniors graduated. Our Elevate leaders also attended the 5th grade graduation at PS 335, to support the students they mentored throughout the year. The school year ended on a great note, with a rooftop BBQ hosted by Advisory Board member Kevin McGovern.
After a ground breaking start at Banana Kelly, we are excited to announce that we are now working with students at Bronx Studio School for Writers and Artists. Our first week at school was fantastic, and we are serving 25 high school students and will start working with 90 elementary school students, in a few months.
