I’m thrilled to be participating in Run With Friends 7th Annual 5K, a fundraiser supporting Friends of the Children New York! As a member of the Leadership Council, I’m passionate about this cause and need your help! My goal is to raise over $5,000 to help support the vital work of Friends of the Children -- a nonprofit that provides professional, long-term mentorship to youth facing systemic obstacles, walking alongside them from kindergarten through graduation.. Every donation—big or small—positively impacts this important cause.

Here is the link to our website if you would like to learn more about the organization:  https://friendsnewyork.org.  One story I hope you’ll read is about Ms. Makeba, a Harlem mother of five whose children have found support, stability, and hope through their mentors (https://friendsnewyork.org/stories/makebas-story).

Here's how you can help:

• Donate: Contribute whatever you can. No amount is too small!
• Spread the Word: Share my fundraising page with your friends, family, and social networks. Let’s spread awareness so we can raise more!

Thank you for standing by me in this effort. Your support means the world to me!

Best, Dave
