Para Los Niños Celebrates Decades Long Partnerships to Help Families Thrive
2019 Annual Benefit to honor Bank of America and Loyola High School of Los Angeles for support of children and youth in need.
This May, Para Los Niños will honor Bank of America and Loyola High School of Los Angeles for their decades of support and partnership to help children and youth on their path to success. This event is Para Los Niños’ largest fundraiser of the year, welcoming over 275 of Los Angeles’ largest corporate and philanthropic leaders to celebrate our mission and impact.
Many children in Los Angeles come from disadvantaged homes without reliable access to basic necessities – this puts stress on the parents, and children take that on. That’s where Para Los Niños comes in for over 6,000 children and families each year to provide excellent education and wraparound support (like counselors, parenting workshops, trauma resiliency training, and social workers) to give some of LA’s most vulnerable children the chance for success in school, work, and life.
“This is the night that we get to highlight the stories of our families, and honor the great partners we have that allow us to continue the work we do each day. We are so excited to celebrate our two honorees this year, who have made an impact on our mission for the past decades!
Bank of America is deeply connected to our Youth Workforce Services’ success and growth, and Loyola High School of Los Angeles partners to be in our schools every year making a profound, direct impact on our students’ lives.”
-Para Los Niños President and Chief Executive Officer, Drew Furedi
