Dear Second Act community,

I am thrilled to invite you to celebrate Second Act’s Fifth Anniversary Summer Soirée on July 23, 2026 at Penthouse45 from 7:00pm-10:00pm in Midtown Manhattan. This special evening will be a chance to come together, reflect on what we’ve accomplished, and look forward to what’s next for this growing organization.

Over the past five years, we’ve supported individuals navigating career transitions, exciting milestones, and new life stages by providing resources, mentorship, and a vibrant, supportive network. What began as a vision has grown into a thriving community—and we’re just getting started!

As we enter these next five years, the Second Act team is ecstatic considering the opportunities, joy, and mentorship that are to come! We are eager to grow our scholarship program even further and expand resources via our mentorship program and community events throughout the world.

Your contributions and support fuel our programs, expand our reach, and ensure that more individuals and dance companies have access to the guidance and encouragement they need to move forward with confidence. As we look ahead, we are committed to deepening our impact and continuing to build pathways for transformation and connection.

Whether through attending the Summer Soirée, making a gift, or sharing our mission with others, your support makes a meaningful difference. I truly hope you’ll join us in celebrating how far we’ve come—and helping shape the next stage of Second Act.

Sincerely,
Carolyn Bakich
Executive Director, Second Act Network
