Our annual benefit is our major source of fundraising in the community. Each year, wonderful chefs, restaurants and musical performers donate their food, their spaces and their hearts.

Past benefits have been catered by Eric Ripert and the staff of Le Bernadin, Morton’s, Blue Water Grill, Colors and Provence.

Partner With Foster Pride

During the past ten years, Foster Pride has had successful partnerships with local arts and cultural institutions. These partnerships help children and youth broaden their horizons, learn about community arts programs available to them, and feel ‘at home’ in cultural institutions. Foster Pride has partnered with the Whitney Museum of American Art, The Door, and School of Visual Arts to provide innovative programs to our students.
