YPIE Gala 2021 Streams LIVE from the YPIE College Zone!

Starting with a spectacular aerial view of downtown Yonkers, YPIE's Virtual Gala streamed LIVE from Yonkers on October 21st to honor the resilience of our YPIE students.

We were thrilled to bring our community together to go “behind the scenes” of our YPIE College Zone to hear inspiring words from our students and alums.

Thanks to you, YPIE students will Rise to New Heights and we are deeply grateful for your support to help them get there!

Many thanks to our very generous sponsors of this year's event. We can't wait to celebrate our 15th Anniversary with all of you in fall 2022!
