YPIE Annual Gala
YONKERS PARTNERS IN EDUCATION
ANNUAL GALA
September 26, 2024
In a beautifully starlit room, the YPIE community celebrated 17 years of ensuring students are on the path to success in college and exciting careers.
Gala Honoree Marie Rama captivated the room with her heartfelt remarks about her journey as a YPIE Volunteer and the enduring relationship she has formed with her mentees. Hear more in this video.
We also honored NewYork-Presbyterian Westchester for its generous support and inspiring students to pursue exciting careers in healthcare.
YPIE students presented their impressive projects, including science research, finance, robotics, film, and more.
The event was held at Sarah Lawrence College with the food of critically acclaimed chef and YPIE friend, Peter X. Kelly.
Our thanks to all the supporters, volunteers, community officials, and friends who joined us for this special evening.
