The Knights of York Mission

The Knights of York, founded in 1996, is an established 501(c)(3) New York City-based, nonprofi t organization comprised of business leaders in the construction, real estate, and technology industries. Having a simple mission with great conviction, the Knights of York is dedicated to enriching the lives of children in need.

In the spirit of friendship, and with a common purpose, the organization meets routinely during the year to plan and host special event fund raisers. Much dedication and hard work goes into making each event a great success. The Knights of York host golf outings and dinners, and participate personally in holiday toy gift giving at hospitals in the metropolitan region. The Knights of York is devoted to contributing services and donations to numerous lesser-known charities that show a need and demonstrate a true commitment to helping children.

The Lawrence Ferrara Children's Advocate Award, in memory of our late friend and one of our founding fathers, is the highest honor the Knights of York can bestow upon any person. Given to an exemplary individual at our Annual Black Tie Affair, the award distinguishes the man or women who has been the Knights of York's greatest supporter in the prior year.

Bound by our belief in social responsibility and a generous sentiment toward children we, the Knights of York, pledge “Every Knight for Their Tomorrow.”
