What. A. Night.

Together, here’s what we achieved:

• We unlocked a $50,000 challenging match from the Joseph and Bessie Feinberg Foundation + the Reva and David Logan Foundation, raising over $150,000 in under 10 minutes during the paddle raise, totaling to over $570,000 in critical funding for our students!
• We felt the love from more than 400 of our closest friends – from all corners of the world
• And we witnessed pure magic onscreen… The Soul Rebels, Thank You for the Music, Esperanza Spalding all left us emotional and speechless

So with all that, we just wanted to say… thank you. A young People’s alum told us the other day: “Big Night feels like glitter in your veins. It’s like knowing you’re going to get gifted with love…that people really see you, that they appreciate your hard work so much that they want you to keep going.”
