A note from the 2024 gala honoree, rick henken:
"I’m here because I love these kids. The kids you met on the escalators; the kids whose work we got to share in the lobby; and kids like Mariana who spoke so eloquently tonight.
This dinner is my favorite night of the year. I was moved by the first dinner I attended, and I am moved in new and meaningful ways each and every year. What we do here and in our schools matters. It really matters.
When you enter one of our schools you can’t help but feel the love, the kindness, and the compassion that permeates.
Delivered with your support through our teachers and principals, who are educating the next generation with the fundamentals as well as with the values they will need to be good, active, and engaged citizens. I love these kids."
