Last night, many of New York City’s leading philanthropists
gathered at the Harmonie Club for the Angels Helpers NYC 2024
Charity Gala, “Big City, Big Hearts: New Yorkers Helping New
Yorkers.”
The evening raised nearly $200,000 for two treasured
organizations, Harlem School of the Arts and Highbridge Voices.
Ted Taylor, Director of Giving for Harlem School of the Arts,
delivered the keynote address, in which he shared the
organization’s vision and results for city schoolchildren. “Our
primary purpose is to provide avenues of positive self expression
that can also lead to career paths yet unimagined,” said Taylor.
“As a representative of Harlem School of the Arts, I humbly accept
this recognition by Angels Helpers. The missions and visions of our
organizations align, as we together strive daily to make a
difference in the education of underserved communities in New
York.”
World famous violinist David Aaron Carpenter provided the
evening’s entertainment.
“We created Angels Helpers NYC to make a difference and spread
joy,” said Angels Helpers NYC founder Bernard Adams. “New York City
is the world’s epicenter of culture, and we are committed to
ensuring that all young New Yorkers have access to make art and
music a part of their lives. We’re proud to support Harlem School
of the Arts and Highbridge Voices, two organizations that work
tirelessly to do exactly that.”
Harlem School of the Arts is a cultural arts center committed to
leveling the playing field by empowering young people from across
the multi-cultural and socio-economic spectrum. Of the nearly 5,000
students who participate in its programs, more than 85% are African
American or Latino and nearly 50% of students taking classes at its
facility receive financial assistance.
Highbridge Voices provides intensive music, academic, and social
programs for children and young adults to learn, develop, and
present uplifting music for the community and acquire invaluable
lifelong skills for college, career, and beyond.
Angels Helpers NYC is planning its next gala fundraiser for this
fall.
