Thank you to everyone who joined us at Tribeca Rooftop on May 21, 2019, as we honored Anne M. Finucane and Tayloni Mazyck! We broke a new record, which will allow us to assist thousands of families in the year ahead. Special thanks to our generous leadership sponsors [PDF] and to all those who made a fund-a-need donation to support our vital work to improve school accessibility.
As Tayloni said in her acceptance speech [PDF], "It shouldn’t be this hard to get a good education, and a good education should not be denied to you just because you have a disability." Thanks to your support, AFC will continue to fight tirelessly to break down the barriers that stand between New York City students and the quality education they need and deserve.
