About the Evening
On Thursday, June 25, 2026, LIFE Camp Inc. invites you to the Sand Castle in Franklin Square, NY for the Pre-Summer Soirée 2026: A New Era of Impact & Influence. An evening of cocktails, conversation, and celebration in honor of the lives changed and the work still ahead.
For more than two decades, LIFE Camp has stood at the front lines of peace work: interrupting violence before it happens, supporting families through unimaginable loss, and reimagining what safety means in the communities that need it most. The Soirée is where that mission becomes a movement. This isn't just a party. It's a turning point. And we need you in the room.

A New Framework, A New Era
This year, we're introducing the Tree of LIFE: a new framework for how LIFE Camp delivers care, opportunity, and transformation to the young people we serve. The roots are the wraparound services that hold a young person steady through crisis. The branches are the structured programs that help them grow. Every dollar raised on June 25th fuels both.
This year's honorees represent the branches of our Tree of LIFE, with leaders recognized across Health & Therapeutic Wellness, Education & Academic Advancement, Financial Literacy & Entrepreneurship, Arts, Culture & Entertainment, Workforce Development, S.T.E.A.M. & Al, and Political Education.
