We're so excited to announce that Nancy Hall, NA CEO of GroupM’s Mindshare, has joined the Board of Directors of Partnership with Children! With more than 20 years of media industry experience, Nancy leads teams across North America in driving transformative media strategies for some of the world’s biggest brands. As one of the 2024 Inspiration Gala honorees, Nancy took the time to thoughtfully visit a PWC school in East Harlem, speak with our staff, students, and school leadership and learn about the impact of what we do. She galvanized the media industry and her networks, bringing hundreds of people to our gala and raising hundreds of thousands of dollars for PWC. Further, she continued to serve as champion and ambassador, choosing to partner with PWC for Mindshare Day, the company’s annual birthday celebration where they give back to the community. Thousands of dollars of essential needs products were donated to our children and families, and nearly 100 Mindshare employees took over our offices to pack kits and write letters to our students. It’s an honor to continue working with a leader who has already shown so much heart, commitment, and insight about what we do. We can’t wait to take our next steps forward with Nancy on our board!

On Tuesday night, Partnership with Children (PwC) welcomed 530+ guests to our annual Inspiration Gala. We celebrated the importance of mental health and healing-based arts education in preparing New York City’s children and families to succeed in school, society, and life. The evening, hosted by CBS anchor Maurice DuBois, honored inspiring leaders from the finance, media, and healthcare sectors: Raj Dhanda, Partner and Global Head of Wealth Management at Ares Management; Nancy Hall, CEO of Mindshare, NA; and Dr. Richard Park, founder of CityMD and co-founder of Ascend Partners. The 2024 Inspiration Gala also acknowledged two trailblazing icons, for their contributions to the healing arts: Robert "Kool" Bell of Kool & the Gang, and Melba Moore! Thanks to our generous partners and supporters, PwC surpassed our goal and raised over $1.3 million that will support young people all across NYC. Thank you to those who joined us in celebration - it was truly a night to remember! Photos courtesy of Richard Koek (fb)
