  Each year, Friends, Muppets, and honored guests gather for a celebration of laughter and learning that directly benefits our global non-profit work. This year, we’ll shine a spotlight on Sesame Street in Communities, our new initiative reaching children and families across the country. Please join us on May 30th and help bring healing and hope to the communities that need it most. For information, emailsesame@eventassociatesinc.com or call (212) 245-6570.
