Welcome to The Foundling’s Virtual Fall Fete!
Tuesday, October 27, 2020
7:00 – 8:00pm EST
Join us for a special evening with members of our Foundling Family as we honor our community of everyday heroes.
This special event will allow us to come together and recognize our neighbors – those who have been essential since our work began, and whose tireless dedication helped countless others weather the storm of the COVID-19 pandemic. This includes The Foundling’s staff, more than 1,000 of whom continued their work in the community despite the many challenges seen by our city, country, and world since early 2020.
Hosted by Emmy award-winning NY1 news anchor Cheryl Wills, the evening will feature special guest speakers, inspirational stories from Foundling program participants, a musical performance by Haven Kids Rock, and a live and online auction.
Fall Fete Mini Events
For the first time in our 150-year history, our annual event will include a series of virtual events, celebrating Our Everyday Heroes.
Throughout the month of October, The Foundling hosted three virtual mini-events that provided insight into The Foundling’s work during the pandemic. These events have led up to our main celebration on October 27 which will allow us to come together and recognize our neighbors that have displayed dedication, courage, and commitment while helping others weather the storm of COVID-19.
If you missed any of our mini-events, please be sure to check out the links below. We hope you will consider joining us and member of our Foundling Family on October 27 as we honor our community of everyday heroes. While general admission is free for all events, 100% of donations will be used to support the people and programs at The Foundling.
