Kicking Off Spring — and the Countdown to Fiver’s Benefit
On April 2nd, Fiver Children’s Foundation hosted Toast to Spring — our 2025 Benefit Kick-Off Event — marking just under 60 days until our 25th Anniversary Celebration. Held on a stunning rooftop space and hosted by newly appointed Emeritus Board Member Kan Devnani, the evening brought together board members, staff, alumni, and supporters for a joyful night of connection and reflection.
The event was a vibrant celebration of community. We were thrilled to reconnect with longtime supporters and meet new friends, while introducing more people to the mission and impact of Fiver. One of the evening’s most memorable moments came from Fiver alumnus Mykel, who shared how his Fiver experience shaped his journey abroad in China during the pandemic. While working at a school, he created a camp program modeled after Camp Fiver — incorporating the Five Attributes to help guide his students.
“The attributes provide a solid framework for who we want to be as people,” Mykel shared, “but it’s the actual people, it’s the community that puts them into practice every day that inspires me to be my best self.”
Guests also enjoyed a classic Fiver icebreaker, a nod to our camp roots, before raising a glass in honor of Fiver’s 25 years of impact. It was a beautiful reminder of the strength, warmth, and legacy of our community — and a perfect way to build excitement for what’s ahead. We hope you’ll join us in celebrating the full story at our 25th Anniversary Benefit on June 3rd. Here’s to the next chapter!
