Student Sponsor Partners invites you to attend our 25th Silver Anniversary Founder’s Dinner on Thursday, June 6, 2024 at Gotham Hall in New York. Join us for an evening of celebration, gratitude, and the recognition of the extraordinary “silver linings” that have graced SSP’s journey.
We are thrilled to honor William D. Anderson, Jr., Senior Managing Director of Evercore and SSP Board Member. Since 2002, Bill Anderson has supported the growth of nearly 20 students by investing in their futures. He personifies the strength and durability of SSP and is a guiding light, contributing to our success. We are also delighted that Justin Tuck, Managing Director at Goldman Sachs and former New York Giant, will join the celebration as our featured speaker!
