BBI Sponsors 2026 Back on My Feet Bash

BBI was a primary sponsor at the 2026 Back on My Feet Bash, which brought together corporate partners, donors, and community advocates on June 24 at the New York Marriott Marquis for an evening centered on impact and transformation. Between inspiring speakers, a fantastic auction, and a room full of people who believe in second chances, Back on My Feet raised nearly $500,000 to help their members build pathways to employment, housing, and lasting stability through running and community. As Back on My Feet celebrated their 19th anniversary, attendees were reminded that this milestone is only possible because of their supporters.

Representing BBI at the event were Robert and Elizabeth Taylor, Lori Edens, Vincent and Fran DiBetta. In addition, we were honored to have executives from Bazooka Candy Brands, Tony Jacobs and Chris Lomino. The keynote address given by Anne Mahlum, founder of Back on My Feet, shared the story behind the organization and its ongoing mission to combat homelessness through running, community, and employment support.

The evening celebrated that mission with powerful member success stories and a look ahead at future growth plans, while asking attendees to wear tennis shoes with formal wear in a nod to the power of running.
