The Fiver Children's Foundation will commemorate 25 years of transformative youth development at its upcoming annual benefit, recognizing significant achievements in supporting young people from underserved communities in New York City and Central New York.
The organization's distinctive approach provides a comprehensive ten-year mentorship program that supports children through educational and leadership development initiatives. By offering sustained engagement, Fiver helps participants develop critical life skills, graduate from high school and college, and become engaged community members.
This year's benefit will honor several distinguished contributors, including Eric and Kyuri Weng, Erika Weinberg representing Latham & Watkins LLP, and Fiver's Emeritus Board of Directors, who will receive the Richard Adams Leadership Award. Fiver alumnus and Board Member Jonathan Jean-Pierre will be presented with the Thomas and Heather Tucker Visionary Award.
Executive Director Christie Ko emphasized the significance of the milestone, noting that the benefit celebrates both past accomplishments and future potential. The event will take place on June 3rd at 583 Park Avenue, with all proceeds directly supporting Fiver's ongoing youth programs.
Since its founding in 1998, Fiver has positively impacted thousands of young lives, providing resources and opportunities that enable participants to build promising futures. The organization's comprehensive approach demonstrates a long-term commitment to breaking cycles of disadvantage through consistent mentorship and support.
