Americans are getting vaccinated, the country is reopening, and we are finally able to gather in person again. If that’s not reason to come together, what is? Please join us for Sweeping Recovery: The Doe Fund’s Annual Gala to celebrate the role that the Men in Blue will play in rebuilding a more inclusive, vibrant New York City. We hope to see you at Cipriani (110 E 42nd St, New York, NY 10017) on October 21st at 6pm EST. Guest must be vaccinated to attend. Sweeping Recovery will also honor the life and work of our Founder, George McDonald, and celebrate the enormous return on investment in human capital made possible by his vision and your support. This year, “ROI” has an additional meaning: Resilience of the Men in Blue, who were frontline heroes during the pandemic. Opportunity to be a crucial resource as NYC—and the nation—recovers. Innovation for new solutions to homelessness and recidivism. Please partner with us as we rebuild a safer, cleaner and more vibrant New York City. Learn more at doe.org/gala2021. PAST EVENTS DISHES BY DOE | THURSDAY, JUNE 10TH, 2021 Every year, we showcase the trainees in our Culinary Arts and Chef in Training programs at Dishes by Doe. We hope you join us virtually for our 5th annual event! Three of our Ready, Willing & Able graduates—now professional chefs—will teach you how to prepare their signature dishes and serve them to panelists from three of Harlem’s hottest restaurants. We’ll also have a special, interactive Q&A at the end of the program to learn how our graduates and panelists are dealing with Food Justice during the pandemic and hear their thoughts on the restaurant industry’s future. Learn more about this exciting event at doe.org/dishes2021. We hope to see you there! THE DOE FUND’S 30TH ANNUAL GRADUATION CEREMONY | WEDNESDAY, APRIL 28TH, 2021 There is no Doe Fund event that speaks more clearly to the transformative power of work, the potential within the men we serve, and the efficacy of our model than our annual Graduation ceremony. Until the pandemic, we gathered every year since 1990 to celebrate the extraordinary tenacity of the Men in Blue who overcome homelessness, incarceration, and addiction to become tax-paying citizens, responsible fathers, and role models in their communities. If that doesn’t deserve celebration, what does? On Wednesday, April 28th, we are celebrating over 200 Men in Blue who have obtained employment and housing thanks to Ready, Willing & Able. They will join thousands before them as testaments that Work Works—even in the midst of a pandemic. The day will begin with an in-person press conference at The Doe Fund’s Harlem Center for Opportunity featuring 2020 graduates, The Doe Fund staff, City Council Members including Robert Cornegy, and Mayoral candidates including Eric Adams and Kathryn Garcia. Then at 6pm EST, join us right here for our special ceremony! Join us on Thursday, April 28th at 6pm EST for this special event LIVE on our Facebook Page or at doe.org/graduation2021. We hope to see you there! THE DOE FUND’S VIRTUAL MAMA DOE MEMORIAL | FRIDAY, DECEMBER 25, 2020 Every Christmas Day since 1985, hundreds of formerly homeless and incarcerated men and their families gather to honor Mama Doe, the homeless woman whose death led to the creation of The Doe Fund. Although we are unable to come together in person, we refuse to forget the thousands of homeless Americans who lost their lives this year. Please honor their memories by lighting a virtual candle at doe.org/mama, and join us there on Christmas Day at 11am EST for our Virtual Mama Doe Memorial.
