This event has already passed.

On Tuesday, February 26, over 600 guests joined PASE in celebrating those who have given outstanding service and leadership to our city’s youth.


The 2019 PASEsetter Awards Benefit joyously honored five outstanding afterschool educators, as well as Scott M. Kelley, Founder & CEO of Aetos Capital Real Estate, LP as our Afterschool Champion.

The event raised over $730,000, allowing PASE to promote and support high-quality afterschool programs throughout the city.

Thank you for supporting PASE and New York City’s children!
