ZenithOptimedia hosted children registered with Tuesday's Children for a job experience day at their NYC offices on June 26th, 2010.  Ten children, ages 8-16, came together to learn about business etiquette, internship options, career possibilities and interview skills.  Each child got a tour and had the opportunity to have an agency overview of ZenithOptimedia; part of the world's largest media service group. 

The team at ZenithOptimedia, including Angela, Amelia, Jessica, Allan, Mike, Jenna, Henali and Leila, put together a program that was created for the Tuesday's Children group with videos, an agency reel and talks given by the team.  Special thanks to Amelia, a valued Take Our Children to Work Day contact, as well as Leila for putting together the day!

Tuesday's Children was offered tickets to the NY Sportimes Tennis Center as guests for opening night on July 5th, 2010.  Several Tuesday's Children 9/11 Responders and registered families attended the event.  Willie Cantres, a 9/11 Responder, was asked to hit the first serve on behalf of Tuesday's Children.  Elizabeth at NY Sportimes said, "It was such a joy to have Mr. Cantres here. Everyone enjoyed his presence greatly!" 

Thanks to Elizabeth and her team for forming such an amazing partnership with Tuesday's Children.  We look forward to many more tennis matches supporting NY Sportimes!

On Sunday, July 18, approximately 3,000 athletes competed in the Nautica New York City Triathlon.  The 32 mile race consisted of a one mile swim in the Hudson River, a 25 mile bike ride along the West Side Highway, and a six mile run through Central Park!

Tuesday's Children conducted three seminars focusing on the college prep experience for 9/11 families and 9/11 Responders.  The seminars, lead by noted college prep expert Noreen Cambria, were held on April 28th, May 19th and June 23rd at the CW Post campus. 

Seminars answered questions such as "How do I pay for college?", "Where should I apply?", "What are colleges looking for?" and so many more.  Each seminar was well received and gave valuable information to the parents and the children about this sometimes challenging endeavor.

One parent told us "You give food for constant thought, so I have learned so much" and another said "You are incredibly informative; wonderful delivery; so optimistic".   Each participant in the seminars has been offered the opportunity to have an individualized session with Noreen.
