Description: Four youth and their mentors from Big Brothers Big Sisters of NYC (BigsNYC) will be in the spotlight in front of more than 1,000 people, during the 31st Annual Sidewalks of New York Awards Dinner on April 26, 2010. They will present awards to individuals who serve as role models, Honorees: Richard J. Franchella of RBC Wealth Management; Mark A. Standish of RBC Capital Markets; Deborah Roberts, ABC News Correspondent; and.Michael J. Oher, Offensive Tackle, Baltimore Ravens. Each award will be presented to the honoree by a youth and his or her mentor. The matches have, over the past eight weeks, written and practiced their remarks that shared their true stories and heartfelt presentations touched by unique wit and personality. This year's gala celebrates "The Power to Change Lives" -- the power mentoring has to shape not just one child's future, but the future of an entire community. Since BigsNYC is a donor-supported volunteer organization, fundraising efforts like the Sidewalks of New York Gala are vital to sustaining its mentoring programs. The event is slated to raise over $1.5 million dollars. Emcee: Soledad O'Brien, Anchor & Special Correspondent, CNN. |
