NEW YORK (October 25, 2019) – Mentorship organization Step Up will gather some of New York's sharpest business minds at the nonprofit's eighth annual Power Hour on Tuesday, October 29, at 6:00 p.m. at Second Floor on Sixth Avenue. The event celebrates the impact of mentorship, bringing together influential names for the evening, while raising funds for Step Up's after-school and weekend mentorship programs for teen girls living or going to school in under-resourced communities.
The event will honor Mentorship Champion Nadine Karp McHugh, SVP, strategic investments, data driven media & creative solutions of L'Oreal USA and Tanzema, who participates in Step Up's after-school programs at The Young Women's Leadership School of East Harlem as a member of the Class of 2020.
"Power Hour recognizes inspiring thought leaders committed to impacting the next generation through mentorship," Step Up CEO Delores Druilhet Morton said. "We look forward to acknowledging the successes of Nadine, Tanzema and our local Step Up community, and also providing the organization with the chance to rally the support we'll need for our mentorship programs during this 2019-20 school year and beyond."
The event has the support of platinum sponsors Disney and GroupM, and gold sponsors Fox, Southwest Airlines and Xandr. Manhattan Magazine is the event's media partner.
Comcast NBCUniversal's Hilary Smith chairs the Step Up New York chapter board of directors, while fellow board members Michelle Aragon and JoAnna Foyle serve as co-chairs of the event.
Sponsorships begin at $5,000 and are available at suwn.org/ph or by emailing Jamie Kogan at jamie@suwn.org.
