“Here’s a bad joke for you,” Elsie McCabe Thompson, President of the Mission Society of New York City, said at their 96th annual Founding Families Gala. “What’s the difference between a high school graduate and a college graduate? Well, the answer is a million dollars. That’s the average lifetime earning gap!” Yes, it’s a bad joke, but one that Mission takes to heart. Under McCabe Thompson’s leadership for the last five years, Mission has been tackling the war on poverty with programs to inspire students to embrace learning. Monday night, at downtown’s hip Capitale, Gala Co-Chairs Katrina Peebles, Stanley Rumbough, and Jean Shafiroff helped raise more than half a million dollars for them to do so.
