Boys & Girls Harbor 19th Salute to Achievement
06/10/2011 - By New York, New York

Boys & Girls Harbor 19th Salute to Achievement

More than 400 donors, students, families and friends turned out to celebrate Boys & Girls Harbor’s 19th Annual Salute to Achievement and the presentation of a Journey of a Dream on Friday, June 10th.

The event raised 1.3 million dollars, and proceeds will support Boys & Girls Harbor programs, including two new initiatives: Establishing a Boys & Girls Harbor Youth Orchestra in September 2011, and the enhancement of early childhood education efforts.

The evening was hosted by award winning NY1 anchor Cheryl Wills, and featured a special performance of Journey of a Dream, a wonderful multi-disciplinary collaboration featuring the renowned Silk Road Ensemble with Yo-Yo Ma and students of the Harbor Conservatory for the Performing Arts. The performance showcased music, dance and theater students of the Harbor Conservatory and poignantly conveyed the journey of a Harbor student to discover, develop, and aspire to excellence in pursuit of her/his dream for the future. The Silk Road Ensemble with Artistic Director internationally renowned cellist Yo-Yo Ma performed selections from their vast repertoire, and performed two shared pieces with Harbor musicians and dancers.

Special thanks for helping to make the evening’s event a success must go to Harbor founder Anthony D. Duke, the Harbor Board of Directors, chaired by Stephen Dannhauser, as well as Karen and Bill Ackman, and Presenting Sponsor Pershing Square Management, LP.

From early childhood to college admittance, Boys & Girls Harbor has been a partner in the journey of thousands of children and young people since its inception in 1937, now serving more than 1,300 students annually through education, cultural enrichment and social services.
