The performance will be followed by an incredible Chefs’ Tasting starting 8pm, at The Lighthouse at Chelsea Piers, where SAY Board Member and Renowned Chef Marc Vetri will be joined by top chefs to prepare gourmet small plates. 

For 17 years, we have helped young people SAY what’s in their hearts, SAY what’s on their minds, SAY what they want to SAY, SAY the stories they want to tell, SAY the things they want the world to know about them, and SAY the things they want the world to hear.

With your support, we will continue to underwrite over $1,000,000 in programmatic costs annually, to ensure that these inspiring and brave young people can SAY the things that shouldn’t go unsaid.
