On Saturday, Sepember 24, I will be participating in The New York Foundling’s second annual walk-a-thon hosted by the Junior Board. I invite you to contribute to my campaign and help me reach, and hopefully surpass my fundraising goal! Proceeds from the walk-a-thon directly support programs that allow children, adults, and families we serve to overcome their challenges - including job instability, academic struggles, and persistent mental health needs. Our evidence-based and research-backed programs keep families together, prevent child abuse and neglect, help individuals with developmental disabilities live their best lives, and provide academic support for young people. Thank you for joining me to support the 30,000 children, adults and families in these programs.
