Join us as we celebrate 30 Years of BroSis! We invite you to support our work by contacting [email protected] with your contribution or donate via the button. All proceeds directly fund our educational programs.
FOR 30 YEARS, THE BROTHERHOOD SISTER SOL HAS BEEN AT THE FOREFRONT OF SOCIAL JUSTICE, EDUCATING, ORGANIZING AND TRAINING TO CHALLENGE INEQUITY AND CHAMPION OPPORTUNITY FOR ALL.
Voices is our signature annual benefit highlighting the young people who inspire and empower our work and life-changing programming. It is an evening to celebrate BroSis’ commitment to helping youth develop into critical thinkers and community leaders.
If you have any questions, don’t hesitate to get in touch with Vanessa Marquez, Director of Development, at [email protected].
We are so excited to announce Mark Breitbard, President and CEO of Gap, as our 2025 Voices honoree!
Mark has been a dedicated supporter of BroSis’ work for years. As a business person, he has used his leadership and influence to champion inclusion, diverse leadership, and youth empowerment. Throughout his career, he has transformed industries and inspired the next generation of leaders.
We are thrilled to recognize Mark’s staunch support of BroSis and the impact he and Gap have had on our organization. Our partnership began through a connection with Dapper Dan, a previous Voices honoree, who introduced us to Gap. Shortly after, Gap featured BroSis Co-founders Khary and Jason in their international Dapper Dan designed campaign, marking the beginning of a lasting relationship. Thanks to this partnership, we’ve been able to provide critical resources to youth, including healthy meals, academic support, college and career guidance, and art education.
