The event raised funds to support the 26,000 young people who participate in CYO’s athletic, cultural and volunteer programs and other initiatives throughout the Archdiocese of New York, providing vital resources for CYO’s inner-city community centers, parish-based athletic programs, summer camps for disabled and minority youth, as well as their teen leadership and youth ministry programs.
In addition to Jeanne, CYO also recognized two other family-oriented honorees for their outstanding commitment to youth: Raymond Quartararo, Head of Global Construction for JPMorgan Chase, received the CYO Gold Metal Award, and Chris Mullin, St. John’s Head Men’s Basketball Coach, was awarded the John V. Mara Sportsman of the Year Award.
In her remarks, Jeanne focused on the principals of resilience and its powerful role in developing young people and families that are strong, healthy and successful.
“Resilience is the notion that when you are knocked down, you come back stronger. You don’t let adversity and failure stand in the way of your resolve. I believe strongly in the human capacity to face and overcome challenges,” explained Jeanne. “The good news is that resilience is something that can be taught and developed. While Commissioner, my mission was to infuse these principals in everything we launched.”
In her role at Capalino as leader of Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) group, Jeanne now promotes on the principals or resiliency- giving back.
