This year Tuesday’s Children honors Bob Pisani, award-winning financial journalist, keynote speaker, author, and CNBC Senior Markets Correspondent, 1990-2025. Mr. Pisani will receive the Keep the Promise Award — an award presented annually to individuals whose resilience, leadership, and commitment embody Tuesday’s Children pledge to Keep the Promise to those we serve.

On the morning of September 11th, 2001, Bob Pisani was one block away when the second tower was hit by a plane. He reported from both outside and inside the NYSE that day and on the World Trade Center site that afternoon. In the days that followed, his reporting helped Americans understand both the economic and human impact of the attacks. Tuesday’s Children is proud to present Mr. Pisani with the Keep the Promise Award in recognition of his steadfast efforts in broadcast journalism, financial education, and continued impact as an engaging speaker making the interconnectedness of world markets accessible.

“I am honored to accept this award, but more importantly I am honored to keep alive the memory of the more than 2,600 people who died at Trade Center that day,” Pisani said. “We also honor the victims’ families and friends, survivors, first responders, volunteers, and millions of Americans who contributed time and money to aid in the rebuilding.”

“As a New Yorker working at Instinet on September 11, 2001, I was invited to a Risk Waters fintech event at Windows on the World and, fortunately, did not attend that day, however, tragically, two cherished colleagues attended, and their memory, along with that of everyone who perished, remains with me always, woven into the fabric of our city. In the wake of this tragedy, voices like CNBC’s Bob Pisani provided much-needed clarity and compassion. Reporting from the floor of the New York Stock Exchange, Bob exemplified resilience, strength, and empathy, helping the world grasp the profound impact on our lives and city. It has been a true privilege to collaborate with Bob over the years and to celebrate his extraordinary 30+ year career at our upcoming gala. His steady presence during New York’s darkest hours and unwavering dedication to honest, heartfelt journalism have set a standard for our entire industry,” said Silvia Davi, President of V&S Strategic Consulting and Board Member of Tuesday’s Children.

“This year’s Casino Night commemorates Tuesday’s Children’s 24-year history of serving those impacted by 9/11 and its aftermath, highlights the continued services available to the 9/11 and military communities, and honors the storytellers who ensure we never forget — inspiring us to continue turning pain into purpose for future generations,” reflects Becky Rossman, Tuesday’s Children’s Chief Executive Officer. “In reflecting on the tremendous 24-year history of this organization, the commitment to supporting families impacted by 9/11 and military loss has remained at the core. The organization remains steadfast in its mission to provide mentoring, peer support, family engagement, and community-building programs that honor the past while building hope for the future.”

Guests will enjoy a lively casino-style evening featuring gaming tables, live music, exciting prizes, and auction items, along with hors d’oeuvres, dinner, and an open bar.
