We are honored to celebrate our distinguished honorees, Dr. Jocelyn Rainey and Chef Sim Cass, whose leadership and support have helped Kindred Bakery BK create meaningful, lasting impact in the lives of New York City youth of all abilities.
We extend our heartfelt gratitude to Aaron Lirette and The Pearl Box for their extraordinary generosity. Their support—including the donation of the venue and culinary experience—has helped bring this evening to life in a truly special way.
We are also proud to recognize Radicle Health as a Lead Community Partner of Kindred Bakery BK. From the very beginning, Radicle Health saw the power of Kindred Voices and embraced our vision. Their transformative investment has helped lay the foundation for this next chapter of our work.
Together with partners like these, we are able to uplift, invest in, and share the stories of our young people—creating pathways to confidence, skill-building, and opportunity.
We would be honored to have you join us for this special celebration.
If you are unable to attend but feel moved to support our work, we warmly invite you to make a donation and be part of the impact.
Thank you for being part of our community. Your support uplifts, empowers, and makes this work possible.
Let’s Rise Together.
