Background: Youth INC’s Celebration Gala is the organization’s signature event, through which it raises funds annually to equip nonprofit leaders with the tools and resources required to build strong and sustainable youth development organizations. The John C. Whitehead Leadership Award is Youth INC’s highest honor, named after the late philanthropist and civic leader, a founding member of Youth INC’s National Advisory Board, and a mentor to its founder, Steve Orr. The award is presented to individuals who exemplify outstanding commitment to philanthropy and community leadership.

As Youth INC closes out nearly three decades of service to New York City, it has helped thousands of nonprofit leaders build impactful community-based organizations that collectively champion over a million young people. Over the years, Celebration Gala has been instrumental in enabling Youth INC to raise over $125 million to support this vital work.
