🌱 From the garden to the kitchen, with a few butterflies along the way! 🦋

Our client, Boys & Girls Club of New Rochelle, recently wrapped up a three-week series of hands-on programs that gave students in grades 3 to 5 the chance to cook healthy meals, learn how fresh food is grown, and even watch caterpillars transform into butterflies.

Made possible through funding from PepsiCo, the programs connected lessons in nutrition, gardening, and the environment with real-world experiences, including harvesting vegetables for local families, preparing meals from scratch, and releasing newly emerged butterflies into the garden.

We’re proud to help share how BGCNR and its community partners are creating memorable learning opportunities that encourage healthy habits, curiosity and a greater appreciation for the world around us. 💙

⚖️ Giving young people a seat at the table and the confidence to use their voice.

Our client, Boys & Girls Club of New Rochelle, recently hosted a Youth Justice Forum that brought young people face-to-face with judges, government officials, legal professionals, and community advocates for meaningful conversations about civic engagement, access to justice, and issues affecting their communities.

Developed through BGCNR’s Legal Career Pathway Program, the forum also gave participants the opportunity to put their own skills into action, helping facilitate and moderate discussions while gaining real-world experience in leadership, public speaking and the legal field.

It’s an exciting example of how BGCNR is opening doors for the next generation of leaders, and we’re proud to help share their story.

A community coming together to change lives. 💙

We were honored to serve as a Silver Sponsor of this year’s Spring Lake Hope Foundation Courage in Action fundraiser, an inspiring evening dedicated to supporting Hudson Valley children and families navigating significant medical and accessibility challenges.

Led by Kevin O’Reilly, President and CEO of Satin Fine Foods, what began as an effort to help the daughter of a longtime employee has grown into an annual mission rooted in compassion and action. This year’s event raised support for accessibility projects benefiting two local children, helping provide greater independence, comfort, and opportunity for their families.

The evening was a tremendous success and a powerful reminder of what can happen when businesses, nonprofits, and community members unite behind a common purpose. We are grateful to have played a small part in an event that will make such a meaningful difference for years to come.
