Voices 15

May 21, 2019
Ziegfeld Ballroom (141 West 54th Street)

Thanks to everyone who joined us at Voices 15, which was our most successful gala yet! Over 550 friends and supporters joined Bro/Sis for an amazing night in celebration of our members and their stories. We are overwhelmed by the generosity of our community, who came together to raise over $1.3 million! Please save May 14, 2020, when we will gather again to celebrate 25 years of Bro/Sis!

Check out below the short video we premiered at Voices, Our Story,  and also the poems and speeches from our young people and alumni – their incredible words and poems brought all in attendance to their feet.

What is Voices?

Voices is our signature annual celebration of our youth and our life changing programming. Voices provides a platform for our members to share their personal journeys, often through spoken word performances.

Voices is also the time when we celebrate and highlight the accomplishments of our honorees – individuals who embody the ideals of The Brotherhood/Sister Sol: Positivity, Community, Knowledge and Future. If you have any questions, please contact John Dumey, Director of Development, at [email protected].
