Futures and Options 11th Annual Dream Big – A Celebration of Opportunity will be held on Thursday, October 21, 2021, at The Plaza Hotel. We are excited to present our 2021 Dream Big Awards and Dream Big Scholarships.

Our 2021 Dream Big Award will honor Rodney O. Martin, Jr., Chairman and CEO of Voya, and Kristopher M. Hansen, Partner and Chair of the Financial Restructuring Group at Stroock & Stroock & Lavan LLP, recognizing their tremendous contributions to community service, youth mentoring, and development of youth career opportunities and pipelines.

We will also celebrate our high school seniors with our Barbara L. Christen and Patricia S. Machir college scholarships, rewarding our students' efforts and supporting their education and career aspirations.

We are thrilled to be back in person at The Plaza and invite you to join us for cocktails, hors d'oeuvres, dinner, and music with a raffle and silent auction, supporting Futures and Options' high-touch career-readiness programs and valuable internship experiences that help transform the lives of New York City's young people.
