Last Tuesday, New York was excited to welcome the British Royal couple who spent just a day in the city. That afternoon King Charles III paid a visit to our former client, 15-year old Harlem Grown
which teaches underprivileged children how to grow and cook nutritious food. At the same time Queen Camilla visited another of our former clients, the NYPL The New York Public Library, which opened its doors in 1911, to promote literacy and reading among young people.
In the words of Tony Hillery, founder of Harlem Grown, seen in the photo below with the King, "No one can do everything, but everyone can do something!" We are thrilled to have played a small part in the success of both these institutions, one a plucky startup and the other a venerable New York City institution and landmark.

What better philanthropic gift than one that supports new doctors entering the profession? Especially after a pandemic when we lost so many medical staff to other professions and to retirement, if not something worse, in the greater New York area!

The Langones say the endowment is to ensure medical training keeps doctors on Long Island.
