Futures Ignite’s 2022 Gala was held on May 18 at Capitale. We celebrated ten years of impact and honored Elaine Rocha, Chief Investment Officer at AIG, Peggy Shepard, Co-Founder and Executive Director of WE ACT for Environmental Justice and Anthony (Tony) Curtis, Partner (retired) at PwC.
Our name has changed to reflect the expansion of our mission and work: we’re committed to supercharging student opportunities and ensuring BIPOC students in New York City have access to abundant resources and personalized counseling throughout high school and beyond. Our relationship to the school that founded our organization remains strong, and drives us to enhance our impact at WHEELS as we prepare to expand to other NYC public high schools in the coming years.
