On Sunday, our New York NextGen Philanthropy Community hosted our first NextGen Families Purim Carnival; a day filled with celebration and learning.
A special thank you to our NextGen Families Co-Chair, Amy Bakst for her dedication, passion and inspirational leadership, without which this event would not have been possible. We would also like to thank Roaine Fine of Itty Bitty Boppers for her musical entertainment and amazing balloon animals.
