Celebrating the Beat the Odds Class of 2021: A Year of Resilience
Children’s Defense Fund-New York Beat the Odds Celebration
Monday, June 28, 2021 • 6:00 PM ET • Virtual Event
The Celebrating the Beat the Odds Class of 2021: A Year of Resilience Children’s Defense Fund-New York will honor eight incredibly resilient New York City high school seniors. Our scholars are stellar students, powerful community leaders, and fierce advocates. We want to invite you to help us celebrate these resilient students.
Although we celebrate each graduating class, this cohort is especially deserving of recognition. Their last two years in high school have brought more challenges than our scholars could have ever anticipated.
Graduating and starting the next chapter of their lives amid a national crisis is no easy feat. We hope to gather our community on Monday, June 28, at 6 pm to celebrate them.You can RSVP digitally to attend and support!

You can also make a donation to CDF-NY to celebrate someone in your life. If you have a graduate in your life—your own child, relative, or a family friend—check the box to give in their name as a meaningful graduation gift.
