Although spring has only just arrived, New York Cares is already counting down to summer. On February 9, we held our first ever Summer of Service breakfast at the Yale Club. The breakfast gave participants from some of New York City's leading companies the opportunity to learn about our Summer of Service program which engages associates, interns and employees in volunteer service.

The breakfast was made possible thanks to a generous donation from Deutsche Bank - one of the leading participants in our Summer of Service program. Last summer, 150 Deutsche Bank interns volunteered more than 950 hours of service, working on five projects over the course of three months.

Summer of Service provides the perfect way for companies to give back to the community while building team spirit. For more information please contact Jennifer Gonzalez Goldschein at 212-402-1146 or Jennifer_Goldschein@nycares.org.
