The Children's Storefront Painting Day
On Saturday, May 15th nycTIES teamed with Yale Club alumni, Harlem community members and The Children's Storefront to revitalize the United Methodist Church and the school cafeteria. About 20 nycTies members joined 15 Yale Club alumni to make a lasting impact on The Children's Storefront and the Harlem community. With great enthusiasm, nycTies members and Yale Club alumni painted the church walls, ceilings and banisters. nycTies members also flexed their muscles to move building materials alongside community members. In just a few hours, the church interior as well as The Children's Storefront cafeteria received a fresh update.
This past Wednesday, nycTIES assisted The Children's Storefront by providing volunteers and promoting a great event that raised over $150,000 to support the tuition-free independent school located in Harlem. The event was a blast and nycTIES members made an impact both competing and volunteering. The event itself raised $50,000 more than expected and that was largely due to our members who volunteered to sell "re-buys" during the tournament; they were responsible for raising $24,000 alone!! Our First Volunteer Event with the Children's Storefront
