(NEW YORK CITY) – FourBlock Foundation held its flagship end-of-year event at The New York Athletic Club on November 30. Hickey Freeman was the presenting sponsor for the evening.

It was a sold-out event, with RSVPs from over 450 supporters, partners, veterans, and family members within the FourBlock community. Dean Peter J. Awn of Columbia University delivered the keynote address.

The 2017 Victoria McGrath Volunteer of the Year Award was also presented. This year’s recipient was Michael Pett, a US Army veteran and the North American Military Recruiting Lead at Accenture.
