— Thank You for Joining Us!

OUR 30TH ANNIVERSARY GALA WAS AN UNFORGETTABLE CELEBRATION OF KIPP NYC'S LEGACY —

And it wouldn’t have been possible without you.

Your presence and generosity helped make the evening a true milestone as we honored 30 years of impact, community, and opportunity.

We’re deeply grateful for your continued support and belief in what’s possible for our students, alumni, and families.
