🎉 Join Me in Celebrating My 40th — By Supporting OBT 🎉

Turning 40 feels like the right moment to reflect, give back, and invest in something bigger than myself. This year, instead of gifts, I’m asking my friends, family, and colleagues to join me in supporting an organization I deeply believe in: Opportunities for a Better Tomorrow (OBT).

As a proud member of OBT’s Board of Directors, I’ve seen firsthand how this organization transforms lives. OBT provides free job training, education, credentials, transportation, and career support to young adults and immigrant New Yorkers who are working hard to build stability for themselves and their families. Their work is life-changing, and urgently needed.

What Your Gift Will Do

Your support can:

Cover MetroCards so participants can show up to classes and interviews
Provide meals and snacks to keep students focused and supported
Supply professional clothing, tools, books, and training materials
Make workforce programs accessible to those who need them most

Every dollar removes a barrier. Every dollar creates opportunity.

All proceeds go directly to OBT’s 2025 Fund fueling programs that help thousands of New Yorkers move toward education, employment, and economic mobility.

Thank you for celebrating with me, for supporting this mission, and for helping create a better tomorrow.

With Gratitude,

Blake
