The Nolita Project Annual Fundraiser: TNP Talks

This special TED-inspired evening celebrates 10 years of community impact by The Nolita Project and honors the 40th birthday of Founder & Executive Director Wesley Hawkins.

Your presence is more than a celebration — it is an investment in the sustainability of a trusted, community-rooted organization. By attending, you help ensure Nolita Project can continue to heal, support, and uplift youth, families, and returning citizens for the next decade and beyond.

You are invited to join us for a curated evening of dinner, short, powerful talks led by community leaders, advocates, and individuals with lived experience — designed to challenge perspectives, inspire action, and fund healing-centered work.
