Event Details

"Success is not final, failure is not fatal: it is the courage to continue that counts."
- Winston Churchill


No one is perfect. Things rarely go according to plan. Accidents happen. Mistakes happen. Disasters happen –as we know all too well from the financial crisis, the earthquake in Haiti, the tragic shooting in Arizona and other recent calamities. This is why most, if not all, of life’s most valuable lessons have something to do with persistence. The ability to persevere; the willingness to press on in the face of difficulty; the resiliency to overcome barriers and solve problems; the courage and resolve to bounce back and not only survive, but to become stronger in the face of adversity. These are the attributes that separate the successful from everyone else.

The honorees at Sesame Flyers’ Second Annual Scholarship Awards Gala -
Nick Perry, Jean Alexander, Eleanor Bernard and Corey Pegues
- are living examples of what it means to be persistent. In their professional and community work, these individuals have been strong not just for themselves, but for countless others.

Please join us on Friday, May 20, 2011 at the Brooklyn Children’s Museum as we celebrate the accomplishments of these Community Pillars, honor our Parent of the Year and Employee of the Year, and present scholarships to five deserving students. We will also learn lessons of perseverance that will inspire us to overcome the challenges in our own lives and make our community a better place for everyone.
