At Youth, I.N.C. we value all of our events as opportunities to network with incredible people, build awareness, and raise funds for the grassroots organizations that work daily to transform the lives of NYC’s most vulnerable kids. 


A Celebration to Benefit New York Kids
The event is the culmination of Youth, I.N.C.’s Celebration Program.  Nearly 1,000 supporters gather every year to celebrate the success of each organization.

Connect with a wide variety of organizations serving youth in New York City by meeting Executive Director and Board members to explore opportunities for nonprofit board service.

Youth, I.N.C. will recognize the outstanding work of three of its most enterprising nonprofit partners for improving the lives of New York City youth at the organization's first annual Innovators Breakfast. 

Net Gain Tournament
Every year former NBA stars, Wall Street leaders, and corporate sponsors come together with high school youth for an exciting night of basketball to raise funds for Youth I.N.C. – an event that has raised more than $4.5 million over the past 13 years.  The tournament kicks off with the Annual Hedge Fund vs. Private Equity All-Star Game, followed by a round-robin tournament for teams consisting of corporate and student players.


State of the Market Conference
The State of the Market Conference attracts corporate executives to hear industry luminaries debate the most pressing issues facing Wall Street and our economy today.  The 2011 State of the Market Conference focused on The Future of Risk and featured a keynote breakfast and keynote luncheon, as well as a series of  sponsored “track” or breakout sessions where elite business executives engaged in open dialogue on a number of pressing topics regarding risk.
