2009 New York City Leadership Dinner

Thank you to all who supported and attended the Summer Search New York City 2009 Leadership Dinner: Bridges to Success. It was a truly spectacular event, with a total of 370 friends and family (new and old!) gathered at Gotham Hall on March 3, 2009. Together, we raised over $440,000 to support low-income, high-potential students throughout the New York City.

Please watch the Bridges to Success Video above and share the inspirational words of Kweli, Tatianna, Luis, Norma, and M'Shell with those who were not able to join us at the event for the video's debut.

Your support makes it possible for Summer Search to invest in the leadership potential of more students like Tatianna, Suki and Luis in New York City -- our goal is to serve 400 students annually by 2012!
