Auctioning Fazzino’s Artwork with the NY Giants and Children of the City

On September 30th, Fazzino attended former NY Giants David Tyree’s Children of the City charity dinner at Wall Street Grill, where there was a special unveiling for Fazzino’s new limited edition artwork, Celebrating 100 Years of the NY Giants. David Tyree co-hosted the event with Kayvon Thibodeaux  and NBC 4’s Bruce Beck acted as emcee for the evening. Also in attendance were NY Giants Tommy DeVito and Greg Joseph, Miss New Jersey USA, and Children of the City Founder and Executive Director Joyce Mattera who all came together to raise $100,000 to benefit the Children of the City, a non-profit organization whose mission is to support disadvantaged children in NYC.

Crowds of supporters and donors of Children of the City were in attendance. Towards the end of the ceremonies, Bruce Beck auctioned off items, including Fazzino’s commemorative artwork Celebrating 100 Years of the NY Giants, which helped Children of the City reach its fundraising goal.
“I’m so happy I’m getting to unveil this piece on this occasion. It was exciting getting to work on this and research the history of the Giants,” said Fazzino during the charity dinner. ” I’m not just commemorating a team in this piece; I’m celebrating legendary moments and athletes that generations of our city’s youth have looked up to and idolized, and I get to use that to help today’s youth. Children of the City are doing some spectacular work right now, and I’m honored that I can contribute to their cause.”

Commemorating 100 Years of the NY Giants

Established in 1925, the NY Giants have won 8 NFL championships, four of which were Super Bowls. This year the legendary NY football franchise is playing its 100th season! In celebration of this milestone, Fazzino created a new 3D limited edition artwork commemorating the history of the team – “Celebrating 100 Years of the NY Giants”. The artwork features the current and former Giants stadiums along with newspaper clippings based on real headlines and photographs that document the football teams most iconic games, plays, and victories.

About Children of the City

Children of the City originated in New York City as volunteer-based grassroots efforts launched to address socioeconomic challenges in NYC. It was started during the height of NYC crime rates in 1982  by a low-income, 25-year old Brooklyn resident of immigrant descent named Joyce A. Mattera.

Joyce organized friends and neighbors to provide volunteer-based community outreach services, which included mentoring at-risk youth, protecting domestic abuse victims, and intervening gang violence and recruitment. The results were overwhelmingly positive. Thriving ecosystems and community aid networks developed, neighborhood safety and household living conditions improved, and generational poverty cycles converted into wealth building.

With strategic support from national organizations, subject-matter experts, and local community leaders, Children of the City institutionalized programs to improve the long-term well-being of disadvantaged households in NYC, while plugging immediate resource gaps along the way.

It’s programs continue to evolve as the community needs shift over time. Children of the city currently runs four core programs focused on improving access to real resources, education and development, health and financial wellness for low-income households.
