A special evening with members of our Foundling Family as we pay tribute to our community of everyday heroes.
Tuesday, October 27, 2020
7:00 – 8:00pm EST
The Foundling’s Annual Fall Fete Event was a celebration of Our Everyday Heroes.
For the first time in our 150 year history, our annual benefit event was virtual. This special event provided the opportunity to come together to 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.
The evening featured special guest speakers, inspirational stories from Foundling program participants, a musical performance by Haven Kids Rock, and a live and online auction.
Although our Foundling family cannot gather in person this year, we are grateful that our supporters and friends joined us – far and wide – to celebrate The Foundling’s work and our resilient community.

On Thursday, April 23, Our President & CEO, Bill Baccaglini, will be discussing The Foundling’s COVID-19 response on NYN Media’s webinar series.
As the coronavirus (COVID-19) pandemic moves around the New York and across communities, nonprofit organizations are doing their best to ensure safe operations while still carrying out their missions—and, in many cases, increasing their workload. So many people rely on the services that nonprofits provide to New York communities, especially in times of crisis. Hear from leaders on how they are managing the impact of COVID-19.
Join us on Wednesday, October 2 as we celebrate The Foundling’s legacy, our future, and our continuing impact on the lives of thousands of our neighbors.
