Boys’ & Girls’ Towns of Italy was founded in 1945 by Monsignor John Patrick Carroll-Abbing to provide in his words, "a chance in life" to vulnerable and orphaned children in post-World War II Italy. These desperately poor children lived on the streets free of any of supervision and recoiled at adults telling them what to do. Seven decades later, BGTI’s unique approach of self-government has given a chance in life to more than 32,000 young people, from all over the world. While continuing the innovative work in Italy, in September 2015 BGTI founded Boys’ and Girls’ Towns of Ethiopia to support 400 children, primarily girls, in one of the poorest countries of the world. In 2016, BGTI established Boys' & Girl's Towns of India to support 900 children living in the extremely remote and poor tribal areas of Kerala. Monsignor Carroll-Abbing always said, "Wherever there are children suffering, we should be there."
To honor the vision of our founder and to reflect the growing international scope of their work, they assumed the new name of A Chance in Life.
The Pierre Hotel is located at 1 East 61st, New York, NY. Tickets start at $600 and tables start at $25,000. For more information and to purchase tickets for the New York Spring Ball on April 5th, please visit: https://501auctions.com/achanceinlife/
