The All Stars Project, Inc. (ASP) is hosting its Tenth Annual Benefit Luncheon to support its afterschool leadership training program, the Joseph A. Forgione Development School for Youth, on Friday, December 2, at 12:00 p.m. at the New York Hilton, 1335 Avenue of the Americas.

At the event, the All Stars Project will salute its partnership with the New York City Police Department (NYPD) in Operation Conversation: Cops and Kids, which uses performance and improvisation to foster positive relationships between police officers and inner-city youth. After the success of 50 pilot workshop sessions involving over 500 police officers and 750 young people, Operation Conversation: Cops and Kids is now a program that has been used throughout NYC. Operation Conversation: Cops and Kids was created by All Stars co-founders Lenora Fulani, Ph.D. and the late FrEd Newman Ph.D. in response to the death of Sean Bell in 2006.

The luncheon will honor FTI Consulting and Edward Reilly, Global CEO – Strategic Communications and is expected to raise $500,000 for the Development School for Youth. The benefit is expected to draw 300 executives from Fortune 500 corporations and financial firms across the New York region, including Barclays Capital, Ernst & Young, Latham & Watkins, DirecTV, MetLife, CB Richard Ellis, and JPMorgan. Over 80 companies support the All Stars Project’s Development School for Youth and have provided hundreds of paid summer internships to the young people. Bill Weir, ABC News “Nightline” co-anchor will be the host for the event.
