New York, NY On April
30th, the Mission Society of New York
City community attended a Seeds for
Growth Soirée at The Campbell,
celebrating over two centuries of
achievements and the long standing
impact of the organization’s quality
educational programs. |

Hosted by Stanley and Leah Rumbough and
sponsored by E.F. Hutton, the Mission
Society Board of Directors, staff, and
old and new friends gathered to toast
the incredible work of all of the
individuals who ensure that students
receive in-depth academic and social
emotional support. |

Chairman of the Board, Matthew Mamak was
in attendance, sharing, “I’m
so proud of this community, and
everything we have achieved together.
Our work is instrumental to young people
in and beyond the classroom, and plants
the seeds for a lifetime of success and
limitless possibility. I’m thrilled to
be here today to recognize all of these
incredible efforts.” |
Stanley Rumbough, the fourth generation
in his family to proudly serve on the
Mission Society Board of Directors,
shared the organization’s incredible
history as the oldest nonprofit in the
country, reflecting on the unwavering
dedication to serving the most
vulnerable communities
in the city: |
|
“The Mission Society has
emerged as a beacon of hope to provide
essential support to those in need. Our
reach has only expanded, with programs
that nurture leaders and foster a sense
of belonging. We are not only here to
celebrate this rich history, but also
reaffirm our commitment to creating a
future where every child and every
family has the opportunity to thrive.” |
|
Since 1812, the Mission
Society has been a source of quality
support and resources for the most
underserved New Yorkers, helping them to
plant seeds for brighter futures. The
Seeds for Growth Soirée was a powerful
recognition of this impact, and a moment
to look ahead to more years full of
invaluable, transformative educational
opportunities
for all students. |
