On Sunday May 4th, Tuesday’s Children Mentoring Program matches came together for a fun filled, team-building afternoon.  Matches participated in Watson Adventure’s “The Secrets of Grand Central Station Scavenger Hunt” in New York City.  The matches spent the afternoon working in teams composed of three matches to discover the history, unique features, and surprising sights in Grand Central Station. 

The mentors and mentees worked together to decipher all of the clues and document their hunt through Grand Central by taking creative team photos.   New Jersey mentor Jason Makarow told Mentoring Coordinator Danielle Cooperhouse that “it was a great opportunity for the kids to meet each other while working together. Also, it was a great boost to their self confidence because they were reading the clues and coming up with the answers.”  Long Island mentor Jim Giaccone said, “We had a great time.  The event was a blast!”

This event was made possible by the generous donation from Michael and Georgia Barone.  The Mentoring Department was excited that Michael and Georgia were able to participate in the hunt with the mentors and mentees.  Tuesday’s Children greatly appreciates their generosity!  A special thank you goes to Jim Giaccone for building the partnership between Tuesday’s Children and the Barone Family.
