The 11th Annual BBBS of NYC Race for the Kids, part of Nickelodeon's Worldwide Day of Play, is an opportunity for BBBS of NYC to raise awareness of the mission, to generate funds, to support our programs and to recruit more volunteer mentors. At the Race and picnic that follows, the children served by our organization are joined by their mentors and families, our many other adult volunteers and caring New Yorkers for a fun-filled day that celebrates the power of mentoring and emphasizes the importance of health and exercise.
