The Steven Strobert Foundation, Inc. is a not for profit organization dedicated to supporting opportunities for children and youth through education, athletics and improved quality of life. The focus of the Foundation is to help children and youth, particularly those who suffered greatly in their young lives, discover the extraordinary person within him/herself.
Steven, a victim of the attack on the World Trade Center, was an extraordinary person, whose life and legacy are honored through the Foundation. An energetic, high achiever, who worked as a bond trader on the 105th floor of the World Trade Center, North Tower, he is remembered by all who knew him for his joy of life, his enthusiasm for helping others, and his generous spirit.
Inspired by Steven’s life, his family and friends founded the Steven Strobert Foundation, Inc. Recalling Steven’s unselfishness in helping others, his concern for young people, his joyful and optimistic spirit, the Foundation continues to support the next generation of extraordinary people.
With the guidance of a distinguished education advisory board and the generous support of many individuals and organizations, our recent awards include the following:
