STUX Gallery was thrilled to host an informational gathering in August of 2008 on behalf of non-for-profit organization, New York Youth at Risk (NYYAR).
The foundation, begun in 1985, through persistent and compassionate mentoring, transforms the lives of at-risk disadvantaged children and youths. The amazing and effective influence, which NYYAR has had, is self-evident.
Member of the board, Alex Blackwell gave a moving and informative presentation on his organization which the audience clearly received enthusiastically. A local Caribbean band performed and a youth from the organization showed off her modern/ballet dance skills. The evening had a very positive tone. Ivan Stux, private investment banker with his own firm Stux Capital, and brother of Stefan Stux, is also proudly a board member at NYYAR. The already successful organization is looking at how they might expand their diverse areas of involvement in the community through partnerships with similar organizations as well as to gain sponsors who share their transcendental vision for New York’s youth.
As the organization’s motto states, “Never doubt that a small group of thoughtful, committed citizens can change the world. Indeed, it’s the only thing that ever has”.
