Big Brothers Big Sisters of New York City’s 30th Annual Sidewalks of New York Gala
04/28/2009 - By Waldorf-Astoria’s Ballroom Stage

Big Brothers Big Sisters of New York City’s 30th Annual Sidewalks of New York Gala

On April 28th, three youth, aged 10, 13 and 18, along with their mentors from Big Brothers Big Sisters of New York City, shared their stories and experiences from the Waldorf – Astoria’s ballroom stage.

They presented awards to this year’s inspiring honorees at the 30th Annual Sidewalks of New York Gala, celebrating the agency’s 105th Anniversary. Honorees included three incredible role models, who’s personal and professional successes are attributed to the mentors they had in their own lives: New York Giants Superbowl Champion Defensive End, Justin Tuck; CNN anchor and special correspondent, Soledad O’Brien; Big Brothers Big Sister Chairman Emeritus and long-time supporter, Edward L.Gardner, President of Industrial Solvents Corporation.

Each award was presented to the honoree by a child and his/her mentor. Over the past two months, these matches had been writing and rehearsing their introductory remarks -- making for moving, heartfelt presentations sparkling with individualized wit and personality. This years event reached the fundraising goal of $ 2 million dollars that supports programs helping the youth of New York City

NFL Hall of Famer, Lynn Swann, served as Master of Ceremonies and dazzled guests with his humor, at this well attended event. Richard D. Parsons served as dinner chair.
