Newly created by Mayor Giuliani, the Fund is a private-sector effort to support critical initiatives identified by New York City's Administration for Children's Services. The Fund will provide financial aid for young people, giving children in foster care the chance to attend college. It will support educational and mentoring programs so that young people can begin the college preparatory process during their high school years, with tutoring, SAT prep and college guidance counseling. Nothing could be more important to help our kids reach their full potential. Tickets to the film premiere at Radio City Music Hall on Monday, November 18 will be available in two different packages.
All contributions are tax-deductible.
There are approximately 40,000 children in the New York City foster care system. Also attending the press conference today were New York City foster care children and Hooper, the Fire Department Dalmatian.
