Join us for our biggest event of the year!
We’re so excited to gather for our Breakthrough New York 2023 Gala: Leading the Way. Since 1999, Breakthrough New York has inspired, encouraged, and supported 500 bright and ambitious New York City students every year from low-income backgrounds on their paths to and through college. We are on a mission to propel even more students through college and into thriving careers.
The gala will be an inspirational evening and lively celebration of our students. This year’s gala will bring together our diverse community including donors, business leaders, educators, elected officials, sponsors, and our dynamic youth. We are thrilled to celebrate honoree Sonny Kalsi for his long-standing commitment to Breakthrough New York and our students. The evening will include cocktails, dinner, and our distinctive awards program.
