Dear friends,

When people ask how I am still so passionate about Turn 2 after all these years, the answer is pretty simple to me; it’s a product of witnessing how our initiatives continue to positively impact the lives of so many young people. I’ve had the pleasure of watching countless kids enter our programs with dreams and a curiosity for life, and over time discover inside themselves the skills and confi dence they needed to achieve the incredible things they dreamed of doing. The Jeter’s Leaders, in particular, continue to amaze me. These young people are incredibly ambitious, and their passion and commitment to the values of the Turn 2 Foundation are inspiring.

Our programs – fostering leadership development, academic achievement, healthy lifestyles, positive behavior and social change – have made a profound difference in the lives of our Jeter’s Leaders and thousands of other young people across the country. The success of these initiatives is something I am truly proud of, and is validation of the hard work we have done together since 1996.

Last year we recognized the tremendous milestones we achieved over the course of our foundation’s 20 years. After two decades of working tirelessly to help young people rise above negative infl uences and succeed, some may have thought we had a great run and that we’d declare “mission accomplished” and call it quits. But the fact is, Turn 2 has so much more to accomplish and we’re just getting started.

In September, the Jeter’s Leaders – who always wore the same pinstriped jerseys I spent my entire career in – debuted new jerseys custom-designed for them by Jordan Brand. These jerseys perfectly symbolize what this year represents not just for our Leaders but for the entire Turn 2 Foundation: the start of an exciting new chapter. As Turn 2 continues to grow, we plan to do even more to help young people reach their full potential, and we plan to implement more initiatives that will make a positive difference in communities across the country.

The best is yet to come, and I thank each one of you for playing a role in building upon our foundation’s legacy and success. Our partners, who work with us to develop new and ex-citing programs; our sponsors, who provide critical resources that help us further our mission; the athletes and celebrities, who take time out of their busy schedules to support our initiatives and events; the young people in our programs, who continue to inspire me; my sister, Sharlee, and her tremendously talented staff, who work day-in-and-day-out to ensure the success of our foundation; and my parents, who serve as my biggest mentors and inspirations.

When I started Turn 2 with my father, I had only hoped that I would be able to give back to the communities that had given me so much. What the foundation has become exceeded my wildest dreams, and I am forever grateful to all who have supported us since day one. Here’s to the next chapter.

Sincerely,

Derek Jeter

Dear friends,

Over the last year, I have spent countless hours reflecting on the pivotal moments in my life that led me to this point. I encourage you, when you have an opportunity, to do the same. Think ahead of the moments when you may have been at a crossroads, unsure of what the future would hold; about the individuals who were there to offer support. Whether or not we’ve been conscious of this fact, most of us have been surrounded by role models who have helped each of us get to where we are today. They were our parents, our teachers, our colleagues and our coaches.

Today, there are countless young people nationwide who are in need of guidance to help them navigate the everyday challenges that are part of growing up. And with new issues confronting these young people every day, it is more important now, than ever before, that we continue to inspire them to lead the lives they imagine.

Since Turn 2’s inception, we have been focused on creating opportunities for young people to achieve their full potential. And the exciting moments and milestones that followed our 20th Anniversary Dinner demonstrate how our foundation continues to move full speed ahead to further our mission.

On April 6th, the New York Jeter’s Leaders stood up against cyberbullying during the world-renowned WE Day at Radio City Music Hall. This ignited a long-term partnership with Turn 2 and WE Charity to develop an after-school mentoring program for New York City schools, and also led to the Jeter’s Leaders second WE Day experience at Madison Square Garden on September 20th, where they spoke about the power young people have to make a differ-ence during hurricane relief efforts.

April also marked the third Derek Jeter Celebrity Invitational in Las Vegas, bringing together some of the biggest names in sports and entertainment and contributing more than $1 million to our foundation. To date, this event has contributed more than $3 million to Turn 2, and this tremendous success has ensured it will remain a Las Vegas fixture for another two years.

In May, we hosted the Turn 2 Foundation Baseball Clinic in Tampa, where our friend Jeff Nelson joined us as special guest speaker and inspired more than 100 young people to work hard in school and lead healthy lifestyles.

The next month, we expanded upon a partnership that is very close to our hearts and at the root of the Turn 2 Foundation. During a special ribbon cut-ting ceremony with Phoenix House, we unveiled the newly renovated Derek Jeter Center in Brandon, Florida, which will support Phoenix House and its life-changing work of providing substance abuse treatment to teens. Turn 2 proudly contributed $150,000 to this new center, which now totals $1 million in contributions from our foundation since the center’s inception in 2008.

Later in June, we welcomed the newest class of Jeter’s Leaders in New York and Kalamazoo, as we proudly graduated the class of 2017. For the past 12 consecutive years, 100% of our seniors have gone on to attend college – a tremendous feat which really underscores our positive impact on young people.

In August, more than 100 of our Jeter’s Leaders ventured to New Orleans for a week-long initiative to share one of Turn 2’s core principles with other communities. As part of the 2017 Jeter’s Leaders Social Change Project, these high school students worked together to transform a local school by painting offices, classrooms and the school’s theater. Their commitment and enthusiasm to serving as agents of social change are truly inspiring!

As I reflect on this year with great pride, what’s most exciting is all that is ahead for Turn 2. With the extraordinary passion and dedication of our staff, program participants, partners, sponsors and friends, like you all, we will be able to take our initiatives to new heights and ensure thousands more young people have opportunities to succeed, well into the future.

Sincerely,

Sharlee Jeter

2017 MVP

Having grown up in Grand Rapids, Michigan – 45 miles from Derek’s hometown of Kalamazoo – where he long ago developed a passion for both the New York

Yankees and community service, Chick Lee needed little time to deliberate when he saw an opportunity to bring the Derek Jeter Celebrity Invitational to Las Vegas. For Lee, executive vice president and chief financial officer at ICON International – who was first introduced to Turn 2 by Steiner Sports CEO Brandon Steiner – the decision was a no-brainer.

In 2015, ICON International, JP Sports + Entertainment, Turner and Turn 2 launched the acclaimed golf tournament in Vegas. In the three years since, the event has proven among the largest single drivers of funding to the Turn 2 Foundation, contributing a total of $3 million to its programs since its inception. From the start, Lee played an integral role in the growth of DJCI, spearheading ICON’s mission-critical work with the event. This year, Lee’s tenacity and devotion to Turn 2’s mission proved a driving force in ensuring the tournament continues in Las Vegas through 2019, growing the value of what will be a five year part-nership to a total of $5 million for the foundation.

For Lee, the Derek Jeter Celebrity Invitational is about so much more than hitting the links – it’s all about providing young

people with opportunities to succeed in life.

“Today’s youth are the ones who will lead society in the future, and it’s important for us to ensure they are headed in the right direc-tion. It’s a great feeling for me to see our guests enjoy their time at the annual golf tournament knowing they are positively impacting the lives of the young people in Turn 2’s programs – and I believe that is something they feel good about, too,” said Lee.

The Michigan native is dogged in his determination to help guide young people toward paths to successful futures, and strongly believes in the power of education. He values the mis-sion of the foundation, and speaks enthusiastically about his hopes for those Turn 2 serves: to learn something new every day, and to never give up, regardless of what the world throws their way.

“Turn 2 really dives into the issues that children face today, and helps young people to not only overcome these challenges, but to become leaders and make a difference in the lives of others – and that’s pretty remarkable,” added Lee.

Lee is a graduate of Yale University, where he earned a Bachelor of Arts in economics. Prior to ICON International, he served as chief financial officer of Conti Milling, an international animal-feed and flour-milling operation. From 1989 to 1996 he served as executive vice president and chief financial officer at ICD Group – a petrochemicals group operating out of the former Soviet Union – where he worked to grow ICD from $500 million in sales to some $50 billion in 18 months.

The Turn 2 Foundation is proud to honor Chick Lee with its 2017 MVP Award in recognition of his loyalty and unwavering commitment to Turn 2’s mission and to building upon its legacy.

Through his tremendous professional achievements and dedication to community service, Chick Lee serves as an exceptional role model to young people across the country. n

More than 100 students from the Turn 2 Foundation’s signature program headed south to the birthplace of jazz this past summer, for an exciting week of

learning, personal enrichment and giving back to the New Orleans community as part of the 2017 Jeter’s Leaders Social Change Project.

The week-long initiative kicked off on Monday, July 31st, with Jeter’s Leaders from both New York City and Kalamazoo quickly immersing themselves in the rich culture and history of New Orleans during a special tour of the city. Later that day, the high school students learned from culinary experts at the New Orleans School of Cooking, where they watched a chef demonstrate how to prepare some of the famous local dishes that helped put the city on the map before tasting the food themselves.

“I love the spirit of New Orleans and the pride in this community that eminates from the people who live here,” said Kalamazoo Jeter’s Leader Noah McGuire, class of 2018. “As a student from Kalamazoo, being able to experience another city with my peers is pretty amazing.”

On August 2nd, the Jeter’s Leaders spread their message of positive social change during a community service project at Einstein Charter School, where they put in a hard day’s work in the Big Easy, painting offices, classrooms and the school’s theater, and building trophy cases. These improvements will be enjoyed by 600 students ranging from sixth grade through tenth grade. As the service project came to a close, New York Jeter’s Leaders almuna Dianne Reid presented a $10,000 donation to Einstein Charter School on behalf of the Turn 2 Foundation.

“I am thrilled to have been able to not only experience New Orleans, but also bring positive social change to the community here,” said Kalamazoo Jeter’s Leader Jazzmyne Robinson, class of 2020. “As young people, it is our respon-sibility to make a difference in our communities and beyond, and we hope that our efforts at Einstein Charter School help inspire others to serve as leaders in their own schools and communities.”

Turn 2 coordinated this year’s community service project with HandsOn, an organization committed to engaging, empowering and transforming New Orleans communities

through volunteer services. The founda-tion first worked with HandsOn at its 2010 Social Change Project in New Orleans and the success of that experience inspired this year’s return visit. The project was also in partnership with Goldman Sachs Community Teamworks, the firm’s volunteer program through which the people of Goldman Sachs contribute their ideas and expertise to drive tangible progress in communities where they work and live. Goldman Sachs has supported numerous Turn 2 service projects throughout the years.

“This was our second time hosting the Turn 2 Foundation, and HandsOn is excited to strengthen our partnership,” said Chris Cameron, HandsOn New Orleans executive director. “With over 100 volunteers in one day, our combined efforts have resulted in a dramatic school transformation that promotes a positive learning environment for our future leaders. We are grateful to be a part of such a meaningful movement that promotes academic excellence and healthy lifestyle choices.”

Throughout the week, the Jeter’s Leaders also discussed topics to present at the 2018 Jeter’s Leaders Leadership Conference, a bi-annual national conference that brings together youth leaders from across the country for powerful discussions about social change.

“It is crucial for young people to understand the social issues affecting our society, and how they can do their part to make the world a better place,” said Sharlee Jeter. “One of the amazing things about our Jeter’s Leaders is that community service is not something we push on them – these community service efforts are things they are passionate about, and it is inspiring to see young people so eager to roll up their sleeves in order to better society.”

The 2017 Jeter’s Leaders Social Change Project culmi-nated with college tours to Tulane University, Dillard Uni-versity and Xavier University, where the Jeter’s Leaders ex-plored the campuses and experienced college life. These

“The Social Change Project not only educates our Jeter’s Leaders on the importance of giving back, but also allows these students to gain a hands-on experience working together to have a positive impact across the country...”

visits are part of a larger initiative within the Jeter’s Leaders program, where students visit multiple universities in order to aid them in the college decision-making process. For the past 12 consecutive years, 100% of Jeter’s Leaders have graduated high school and gone on to attend college.

“The importance of creating positive social change is something we work hard to reinforce in the young people in our programs,” said Derek Jeter. “Through their Social Change Project, our Jeter’s Leaders have an opportunity to give back and make a real positive impact that hopefully motivates and empowers their peers to do the same. They are role models we all can learn from, and they continue to make me proud.” n

When the Turn 2 Foundation began its partnership with Phoenix House nearly a decade ago, few could have envisioned the impact they would

have together. Yet in the years since the Derek Jeter Center at Phoenix House opened its doors in Brandon, Florida, the common goal the two organizations share – a deeply held commitment to helping young people overcome drugs and alcohol – has changed hundreds of lives for the better. Buoyed by this success, Turn 2 and Phoenix House in June recommit-ted to the cause they initially set out on together, unveiling a newly renovated Derek Jeter Center that will provide criti-cal resources to countless more young people struggling with substance abuse.

Derek, Sharlee and Dr. Charles Jeter joined Ann Bray, presi-dent and chief executive offi cer of Phoenix House, and Maria Alvarez, vice president of Phoenix House Florida, for a special ceremony on June 6th to commemorate the opening of the state-of-the-art facility.

“As a foundation that is rooted in motivating young people to turn away from drugs and alcohol and make positive, healthy

Open Newly Renovated Derek Jeter Centerdecisions, we are proud to support Phoenix House and its life-changing work of providing substance abuse treatment to teens,” said Derek.

During the ceremony, Turn 2 presented a donation of $150,000 to the Derek Jeter Center, surpassing $1 million in contributions from the foundation to Phoenix House since the inception of the center in 2008.

“Today, more than ever, it is critical for teens to know that there is a safe environment where they can seek and receive the help they need to overcome challenges,” said Sharlee. “And with the opening of this fantastic center, we will be able to ensure brighter futures for more young people than we ever dreamed.”

The spirit of the Derek Jeter Center at Phoenix House aligns with the mission Turn 2 has embarked on for more than two

decades. When Derek began the Turn 2 Foundation in 1996, he drew inspiration from his father’s experience as a drug and alcohol counselor whose work had helped so many people overcome substance abuse. Derek recognized that motivating young people to avoid and overcome drugs and alcohol was a key to helping them reach their full potential, and with his father’s help, made it a cornerstone of the Turn 2 Foundation.

“We are so grateful to the Turn 2 Foundation for motivat-ing young people to turn away from drugs and alcohol and to adopt a healthy lifestyle. Phoenix House is proud to dou-ble our treatment capacity to meet the unprecedented need for access to substance abuse treatment in Hillsborough County,” said Maria Alvarez, vice president of Phoenix House Florida.

The center at Phoenix House provides CARF-accredited sub-stance abuse treatment programs for teens. These services utilize evidence-based best practices, including whole health and wellness activities, with emphasis on family involvement and support networks to guide young patients toward lasting recovery.

“When we supported the creation of what became known as the Derek Jeter Center at Phoenix House, our hope was that it would make a positive impact in young people’s lives,” added Sharlee. “Together, we have been able to help count-less young people in communities throughout Tampa.” n

Jeter’s Leaders Debut Custom Jerseys as Turn 2 Looks Ahead

When the New York Yankees retired Derek Jeter’s iconic number 2 in May, it marked the start of an exciting new chapter for the former shortstop. But it was also a seminal moment for his Turn

2 Foundation and its signature initiative, the Jeter’s Leaders program.

In 1997, soon after creating the Turn 2 Foundation, Derek established the Jeter’s Leaders program, a four-year leadership development initiative for high school students who act as his ambassadors in their schools and communities. As the program grew and evolved, the Jeter’s Leaders came to adopt as their uniforms the same Yankee pinstripes worn by Derek. From then on, each class of Jeter’s Leaders proudly wore pinstriped

jerseys of their own while helping advance the mission and values of the Turn 2 Foundation everywhere they went. But with Derek’s number taking its place among the hallowed grounds of Monument Park, Turn 2 recognized it was also time for the Jeter’s Leaders to officially retire their jerseys as well.

That happened in September, when Turn 2 unveiled new jerseys, custom-designed and created for the Jeter’s Leaders by Jordan Brand.

“I have had the pleasure of spending time with each class of our Jeter’s Leaders, and year after year, their passion and commitment to the principles of Turn 2 continue to amaze and inspire me,” said Derek. “The Jeter’s Leaders represent the

FEATURE




Jeter’s Leaders Debut Custom Jerseys as Turn 2 Looks Ahead

values that are important to my family and that have driven Turn 2 for more than 20 years, and these jerseys reflect the legacy we will continue building together for many years to come.”

Since its inception, the highly-selective leadership program – which takes place in New York City and Kalamazoo – has helped hundreds of young people reach their full potential. Through the many programs Turn 2 offers its Leaders, these high school students have had opportunities to learn how to navigate col-lege life during campus tours, hear from corporate executives during career days and mentor younger students after school.

The Jeter’s Leaders have also worked together to bring their message of positive social change to cities across the country through a number of major initiatives including the national Jeter’s Leaders Leadership Conference and the Jeter’s Leaders Social Change Project. And for the past 12 consecutive years, 100% of Jeter’s Leaders have gone on to attend college after graduating high school.

The unveiling of the new jerseys after two remarkable decades sends a powerful message that Derek’s retirement was not an end for the Turn 2 Foundation and the Jeter’s Leaders, but a new beginning.

“From winning acceptance to college, to spearheading national youth leadership conferences, to inspiring their peers to rise above negative influences, the Jeter’s Leaders have accomplished amazing things in their pinstripes. I know that to do all that while having the opportunity to represent not only Derek, but also an organization as respected and admired as the New York Yankees, has been an honor for every Leader who has worn that Jersey,” said Sharlee Jeter.

“Now, as we continue to build upon this initiative and reach even more young people, it is important for our Jeter’s Leaders to have jerseys that represent the next chapter for both Derek and Turn 2. We know our Leaders see their jerseys as a badge of honor, and we are proud to work with Jordan Brand on this exciting project.”

The goal for the design was to create a baseball jersey for the Jeter’s Leaders that represents the modern and purposeful look of the RE2PECT line of footwear and apparel by Jordan Brand. Designed with classic sport mesh in both black and gray ver-sions, the front of each jersey displays the word “RE2PECT,” with the words “Jeter’s Leaders” and Derek’s number 2 on the back, and the iconic Jumpman embroidered on one sleeve.

“As our team created the Jeter’s Leaders jerseys, the design focused on a classic look that embodies the style of the RE2PECT line,” said Jordan Brand vice president of Marketing, Brian O’Connor. “We are proud to work with Turn 2 to intro-duce the latest jerseys, which will be part of this foundation and its great work for years to come.”

As the Jeter’s Leaders hang up the iconic pinstripes that have represented Turn 2 for more than 20 years, they wear their new jerseys with great pride; because they are not only part of the foundation’s legacy of creating meaningful social change; they are part of its future. n

CONTRIBUTES MORE THAN $1 MILLION TO TURN 2

In April, a who’s-who of sports and entertainment hit the links at the exclusive Shadow Creek Golf Course, as the highly

anticipated Derek Jeter Celebrity Invitational (DJCI) returned to Las Vegas for the third consecutive year. Hosted by the Five Diamond ARIA Resort & Casino, the three-day affair contributed more than $1 million to the Turn 2 Foundation.

A long list of celebrities and athletes turned out this year to make a difference in the lives of the young people in Turn 2’s programs. Among them were baseball greats, Ken Griffey Jr., Tino Martinez, Jorge Posada and Ivan “Pudge” Rodriguez; entertainers, including Anthony Anderson, Joey Fatone and Benjamin Bratt; and renowned professional athletes, including Marcus Allen, Ray Allen, Bode Miller and Brandi Chastain.

“As we presented this event for the third year in Las Vegas, I am incredibly grateful for the tremendous support we continue to receive from our friends, supporters and partners, who have played a huge role in making this event such a fantastic success,” said Derek Jeter.

The festivities kicked off on Wednesday, April 19th, with a private Welcome Reception presented by Jordan Brand at ARIA’s LIQUID Pool Lounge, where guests settled in, mingled and geared up for the week’s competitive tournament.

On Thursday morning, teams of celebrities and amateur participants went head-to-head in the first round of the Celebrity-Amateur Tournament, which followed a best-ball, Shamble format. With incredible focus and determination, professional golfer Paige Spiranac led her team to victory.

That evening, teams put the competition on hold as celebrities, friends, partners and supporters joined Derek at the event’s sig-nature Derek Jeter Celebrity Invitational Gala at ARIA. Guests enjoyed world-class dining and also bid in a silent auction that featured exclusive memorabilia and one-of-a-kind experiences. The Gala closed out with an unforgettable performance by world-renowned, GRAMMY Award-winning artist, T.I., whose hit songs had guests dancing well into the evening.

The three-day event culminated on Friday, April 21st with the fi nal round of the Celebrity-Amateur tournament, where former MLB pitcher Tanyon Sturtze and his team captured the big win. And in the nail-biting Celebrity Shoot-Out, which had spectators on the edges of their seats, Derek took home this year’s title.

To date, the event has contributed more than $3 million to the foundation because of its key partners: ICON International, Turner, ARIA Resort & Casino, JP Sports + Entertainment and Jordan Brand. Buoyed by this success, DJCI has been extended for another two years, ensuring it will remain among the world’s premiere celebrity golf tournaments for years to come.

“The funds contributed to Turn 2 this year are invaluable, and will allow us to further our mission and reach even more young people across the country, in-stilling in them the importance of education, maintaining healthy lifestyles, and giving back to their communities,” added Derek. “I look forward to building upon this lega-cy for years to come.” n

College Tours

As the Jeter’s Leaders boarded the bus that would take them home following their fi nal college tour of the year,

a sense of excitement grew among the high school students. Eager to embark on this next chapter, feelings of uncertainty they had carried began to diminish as the possibilities and opportunities ahead became clear. This is what the Jeter’s Leaders program has been preparing these students for all along.

From resume building, to public speaking, to internship opportunities and beyond, the four-year leadership development initiative provides high school students with the tools they need to succeed in their academic and professional careers.

Each year, the Turn 2 Foundation introduces the Jeter’s Leaders to colleges and universities beyond their commu-nities in New York City and West Michigan, taking them on tours to gain an understanding of college life while experiencing different cultures. This initiative has helped graduates of the program attend more than 75 colleges across the country, including Ivy Leagues, leading research institutions, Historically Black Colleges and Universities, athletic powerhouses and acclaimed state universities. And for the past 12 consecutive years, 100% of Jeter’s Leaders have graduated high school and gone on to attend college.

At each stop, the Jeter’s Leaders explored the campuses, immersed themselves in college life, learned about course offerings and degree programs, and spoke with current students and faculty – all while serving as ambassadors for Derek and sharing Turn 2’s values with those they encountered . And from tour highlights that included an

intimate discussion with Steiner Sports CEO Brandon Steiner about overcoming obstacles in life to a highly anticipated clash of NCAA powerhouses in which the Syracuse Orange triumphed over Duke University’s Blue Devils with a three-point buzzer beater, this year’s college visits once again provided the Jeter’s Leaders with an endless supply of memories and lessons for the future.

The Kalamazoo Jeter’s Leaders kicked off their fi rst tour with a visit to Michigan State University in the fall of 2016. They continued their fall college tours with visits to Hope College, the University of Michigan, University of Toledo and Adrian College. Later in November, they made their way to Indiana to close out their college tours when they explored Indiana University-Purdue University Fort Wayne.

In February, the New York Jeter’s Leaders ventured out of the big city and headed upstate to visit seven New York colleges, from Cornell University, to Siena College, to Skidmore College, Ithaca College, Binghamton University, SUNY Cortland and Syracuse University.

The fi nal college tours of the year took place during the 2017 Social Change Project, an initiative that brings members of the Jeter’s Leaders program to cities across the country where they work to make a positive impact on the communi-ties they visit. Following this year’s initiative in New Orleans, the students traveled to Tulane University, Dillard University and Xavier University. n





When Nadine Penkovsky walked through the doors of

Goldman Sachs in New York City in 2014, the Jeter’s Leader was eager to start her summer internship at one of the world’s leading investment banking, securities and investment management firms. This moment marked the beginning of an in-valuable experience for the college student that led her to earn a B.A. in economics at Macalester College and pursue a promising career as a full-time analyst at Goldman Sachs.

During her first summer as an intern at Goldman Sachs, Nadine excelled in her day-to-day responsibilities, and in her dedication and willingness to help others. The Leader’s confidence and leadership skills shined through in each task she took on, which ultimately helped to distinguish her in a class of many highly qualified candidates.

From providing feedback on proposed enhancements to the summer internship program, to confidently approaching management with suggestions related to accommodations for colleagues with disabilities, Nadine continuously went above and beyond in her role as an intern. And by the end of her second summer, the Jeter’s Leader alumna caught the attention of many

teams that campaigned hard for her talent.

“We are grateful for the relationship that we have shared with the Turn 2 Foundation and the Jeter’s Leaders program for nearly a decade,” added Goldman Sachs vice president Dede Agar. “Our view then, which has been validated and continues today, is that these kids have made the choice to commit to and participate in a pro-gram that is rigorous and requires dedication and time to ultimately prepare themselves for the future. Nadine is an excellent example of this and is a valuable part of our team. We look forward to continuing to wel-

come Jeter’s Leaders alumni to Goldman Sachs.”

Today, Nadine is excelling in her second year as an analyst on the Goldman Sachs Private Real Estate team. While she graduated from the Jeter’s Leaders program in 2012, Nadine continues to share the fundamental Turn 2 values with others and serves as a role model to current Jeter’s Leaders. Nadine recently organized a career day at Goldman Sachs for juniors and seniors and then took them to the Goldman Sachs suite at Yankee Stadium where they watched the New York Yankees take on the Cleveland Indians. n

Countless young people dream of one day taking the stage at Radio City Music Hall. For the New York Jeter’s Leaders, that dream came true this spring. On April 6th, it was showtime. After

months of planning and preparation, the high school students were ready to represent the Turn 2 Foundation and share their message of positive social change during the world- renowned WE Day, an unparalleled celebration of young people committed to making a difference. As Turn 2 was called to the stage, the Jeter’s Leaders were greeted by bright lights and thousands of people eager to hear their story.

This moment marked the Turn 2 Foundation’s first WE Day, and also was the beginning of a new partnership with WE Charity, an organization dedicated to bringing young people together and empowering them to change the world. The Jeter’s Leaders, who serve as ambassadors for Derek in their communities, were excited to join the powerful event with other change-makers and young people who are making a difference in society.

In preparation for the big day, the students were tasked with selecting a discussion topic they felt was critical to address, and they unanimously chose an epidemic that impacts millions of young people across the country: cyberbullying. Over the past year, 42% of teenagers with access to technology reported being cyberbullied, and 20% of kids who have been cyberbullied think about suicide with one in 10 attempting it. This is a major issue the Jeter’s Leaders have been working to combat through the Turn 2 Foundation, and together, they proudly gave voice to their cause on the WE Day stage.

“As young people, it is our responsibility to rise above negativity and encourage others to do the same, and

nothing embodies that negativity today more than cyberbullying. WE Day was a great opportunity for us to work together to motivate teens across the country to stand up for those who are being bullied, serve as leaders in their schools and communities, and choose kindness,” said New York Jeter’s Leader Jordan Pierre, class of 2019. “Standing up for some-thing I believe in alongside my fellow Jeter’s Leaders was an amazing experience, and a moment I will always remember.”

This isn’t the first time the Leaders have taken a stand against bullying. In 2015 they partnered with STOP!T, an app that works to end bullying in schools.

A tremendous success, Turn 2’s first WE Day ignited a partnership with WE Charity to continue to spread the values both organizations share. On September 20th, the New York Jeter’s Leaders once again took the WE Day stage, this time, at New York City’s iconic Madison Square Garden. Together, the Jeter’s Leaders shared their experiences of spreading positive social change in New Orleans during the 2017 Social Change Project, and also emphasized how the community is still recovering from Hurricane Katrina. As part of their commitment to inspiring other young people to give back, the students

offered the crowd advice on how they can help communi-ties that are reeling from the effects of Hurricane Harvey and Hurricane Irma.

“It is important for us to not only teach our Jeter’s Leaders the fundamental values that drive Turn 2, but also provide them with opportunities to give back, serve as role models and inspire other young people to reach their full potential. WE Day is an incredible platform for our Leaders to share Turn 2’s mission with others, and we look forward to continuing to build

upon this partnership,” said Turn 2 president Sharlee Jeter.In the months following WE Day – as part Turn 2’s commit-ment to promoting academic excellence, healthy lifestyles, positive behavior and social change among young people – the foundation developed an after-school workshop with WE Charity for schools across New York City. With a focus on peer-to-peer mentoring and leadership development, the Be a Leader workshop series will provide young people with the skills, tools and resources to develop action plans to com-bat cyberbullying or promote cultural diversity. Be a Lead-er will begin with an interactive speech, delivered by a WE

representative and a group of the Jeter’s Leaders. The Leaders will hold ongoing sessions where they will continue to provide mentoring and guidance to other young people, empowering them to put an end to cyberbullying or demonstrate the importance of diversity.

“It’s important for young people to understand that we need to come together in order to make a positive difference, and that there are others who are here to guide and support them. We’re in this together, and it’s exciting to get to work on this series of workshops that I’m confi dent will make sure they know that,” said New York Jeter’s Leader Fatime Ndiaye, class of 2018.

For Turn 2, the Be a Leader workshop with WE Charity signals the start of a new and exciting initiative for the foundation that goes beyond the Leaders’ moments on stage, and enables them to roll up their sleeves, dive into their communities and share valuable life lessons with others.

“The Jeter’s Leaders will be able to apply everything they’ve learned through the Turn 2 Foundation to this new mentor-ing initiative,” added Sharlee. “These high school students are having a real, positive impact on the lives of other young people, and that’s pretty incredible.” n

It was an evening of entertainment, inspiration and most of all, discovery. In what has become a highly anticipated annual tradition, Movado treated members of the New York

Jeter’s Leaders to a once-in-a-lifetime cultural experience at its annual Evening of Discovery. The students experienced the 2016 Tony Award-winning Broadway musical, The Color Purple, and also got a sneak peek behind the curtain of the renowned musical.

Prior to the show, the Leaders attended an exclusive pre- performance reception at The Bernard B. Jacobs Theatre, where members of the cast and crew provided first-hand accounts of the details and complexities that go into the making of a major Broadway production. They also heard from Tony Award winner Cynthia Erivo, who stars as Celie, about what it is like to be a Broadway actor, and the hard work and dedication it took to achieve her dreams.

The show’s musical director and conductor, Jason Michael Webb, and associate general manager, Danielle Saks, shared their passions for live performance and the Broadway stage, and also spoke to the Leaders about how a Broadway show comes to life.

“Seeing what it takes for a Broadway show to come together was a truly fascinating experience, and taught me how dedicated these actors and the crew have to be,” said New York Jeter’s Leader Kamil Banks, class of 2018. “I’m so grateful to be part of a program that has helped me grow as a person by introducing me to amazing cultural opportunities.”

“Arts and culture provide our Jeter’s Leaders with such a rich, relevant and integral connection to the academic goals fostered by the Turn 2 Foundation,” said Derek Jeter. “I thank Movado for providing our students with special opportunities like this to explore, experience and engage in innovative programs and in-itiatives that help promote personal growth and development.”

Based on Alice Walker’s Pulitzer Prize-winning, bestselling 1982 novel, The Color Purple follows the life of Celie, an

African-American woman living in the south who endures numerous trials and tribulations. The audience watches Celie as she struggles with abuse, works to stand up to those who mistreat her, and ultimately overcome hardships to find happiness within herself – a powerful message the Turn 2 Foundation works to instill in its Jeter’s Leaders.

“It gives Movado great pleasure to provide these students with experiences that enrich their education through the innovation and creativity that abounds in the cultural arts,” said Mary Leach, chief marketing officer, Movado Group, Inc.

The 2016 Evening of Discovery marked the seventh consecutive year of what has been a fantastic partnership between Movado and the Turn 2 Foundation. Movado has treated the Jeter’s Leaders to exceptional shows before, providing them with the chance to see The Lion King on Broad-way, the Grand Rapids Symphony’s Cirque de Noel, the World of Modern Dance at Alvin Ailey American Dance Theatre, and the Big Band Holiday Concert with Wynton Marsalis at Jazz at Lincoln Center. The company also has served as a sponsor of past Jeter’s Leaders Graduation Banquets, and helped to launch the Jeter’s Leaders Internship Initiative in 2010. A brand long identified with modernism and closely associated with the performing arts, Movado has achieved a proud 135-year history of design excellence and innovation. Movado has been a major supporter of New York City Ballet, Lincoln Center for the Performing Arts, Jazz at Lincoln Center, and The John F. Kennedy Center for the Performing Arts. Additionally, Movado has supported the Miami International Film Festival; Miami City Ballet; The Joffrey Ballet; Ballet Pacifica; and the Cooper Hewitt, Smithsonian Design Museum. n

JETER’S LEADERS ARE UP TO THE JOB AT

COMPANY CAREER DAYSThroughout 2017, members of the Jeter’s Leaders program continued their tradition of visiting prestigious companies to hear directly from top executives about their careers. At each stop, the students experienced behind-the-scenes tours, learned the ins-and-outs of various industries, and spoke to employees about their roles and challenges they face in their careers. See what the Jeter’s Leaders had to say about their Career Days.

“Beyond learning about what goes into a major technology platform at Samsung, the executives gave us great advice and shared their knowledge of how we should prepare for our futures,” said Michael Boccadifuoco, class of 2018. “In life, there are going to be challenges, but those challenges shouldn’t prevent you from reaching your goals.”

“As someone who wants to further explore the business,

finance and marketing world, having a career day at

Goldman Sachs was extremely beneficial for me,” said

Frederic Minzberg, class of 2019.

“At RBC I learned about the importance of investing – not

from a business or economic standpoint, but in terms of the

amount of time, passion and effort that you invest in your-

self,” reflected Jordan Pierre, class of 2019. “The more you

invest in yourself, the more valuable you become, and that’s

when you can stop chasing success, because it will come to

you.”

“Going to Kramer Levin was great. I learned so much about

their jobs, the flow of the office and the work they do,” said

Noah Johnson, class of 2021. “The most interesting thing

to me was getting to talk to the employees, as it really gave

me some insight on what a lawyer is, and the different types

of law there are. This visit gave me an opportunity to think

of my future.”

“At the Turner event, I was exposed to a lot of behind-the-scenes work that I never would have known about,” said Kamil Banks, class of 2018

When the Turn 2 Foundation held its first annual Baseball Clinic in Tampa, Derek Jeter was in the midst of another All-Star season

with the New York Yankees. The event attracted young people from across the area, eager to not only hone their baseball skills but also learn some of the life lessons Derek had long champi-oned. In June, the clinic returned for its 10th year, and despite Derek being a few years removed from his career on the field, children continued to flock to an event that has helped turn thousands of kids into better baseball players and better people.

The free four-day program welcomed children ages 8 – 13 for activities that focused on baseball fundamentals and some of the critical life lessons that have anchored every clinic since the series began. Throughout the clinic, local coaches taught participants throwing, hitting, running, catching and fielding techniques, while Turn 2 staff shared the guiding principles Derek first unveiled in his autobiography, The Life You Imagine, which focuses on steering today’s youth toward positive, healthy choices and behavior.

“The Turn 2 Baseball Clinics have had such a tremendous im-pact on young people in Tampa over the last 10 years. Through this program, these children are not only learning baseball techniques, but also essential life skills that will support them in reaching their full potential, which is what Turn 2 is all about,” said Turn 2 president, Sharlee Jeter.

The highly anticipated clinic, which is organized in partner-ship with the City of Tampa Parks and Recreation Department, was held at the Port Tampa Community Center. Jeff Nelson,

former MLB All-Star and four-time World Series champion with the New York Yankees, joined the clinic as a special guest, speaking to the children about the significant role education, teamwork and making positive decisions play in achieving success in life.

“It’s crucial for young people to understand how working hard at school and making positive, constructive decisions play an enormous role in helping them accomplish their dreams,” said Nelson, who once played alongside Derek. “I am passionate about the Turn 2 Foundation’s mission, and I’m excited to be here, teaching the values that have helped me get to where I am today.”

“Jeff is a tremendous role model for these kids, and we’re so grateful to have his support, along with that of our partners and sponsors who have helped make the Turn 2 Baseball Clinics such a success year after year,” added Sharlee.

To wrap up the four-day clinic, an awards ceremony and banquet were held to reward the participants for their accomplishments. With their friends and family in attendance, the children received certificates of completion and gift bags from the Turn 2 Foundation containing items donated by Turn 2 and its sponsors, Haddad Brands and Jordan Brand. n

This past December, Derek Jeter once again spread holiday cheer to hundreds of children from New York City, Tampa

and West Michigan as part of the Turn 2 Foundation’s annual Holiday Express.

Preparation for the festivities began on December 1st, when more than three dozen members of the New York City Jeter’s Leaders joined for their annual holiday gift wrapping party at Yankee Stadium, where they assembled over 1,100 gift bags. Filled with items donated by the New York Yankees, Haddad Brands and Simon & Schuster, the gift bags would later help children from Turn 2 programs celebrate the holidays at a number of events. After assembling the gift bags, the Jeter’s Leaders were treated to a special private pre-holiday party in the stadium’s Field MVP Club Lounge.

“Year after year, our annual gift wrapping party reinforces for the Jeter’s Leaders the importance of giving back. Tonight, our Leaders worked together to make the holidays brighter for hundreds of children,” said Sharlee Jeter. “As we celebrate the 20th anniversary of the Turn 2 Foundation, we are so proud of their commitment to creating positive social change in and beyond their communities.”

The next week, Derek joined more than 400 children from across the five boroughs at Holiday Express, where he paid them surprise visits at two events in New York City and helped them ring in the holidays.

The annual events are intended to reward young people in the Turn 2 Foundation’s signature programs who are demonstrating leadership qualities, academic achievement

and positive behavior in their schools and communities. The children who attended included members of Turn 2’s afterschool programs – a partnership with the New York City Department of Parks and Recreation – and the Turn 2 Us pro-gram – created as a collaborative effort between Public School 128M of Washington Heights, NewYork-Presbyterian/Morgan Stanley Children’s Hospital and Turn 2, and now administered under NewYork-Presbyterian’s Ambulatory Care Network.

“From their personal growth to their academic achievements, these children continue to amaze me. They each deserve a happy holiday season, and I am excited to

be able to celebrate with them at our Holiday Express,” said Derek. “This was a tremendous end to an unforgettable year, especially as we celebrated 20 years of Turn 2.”

The celebrations began in the afternoon at the Turn 2 Us Holiday Party at Chelsea Piers, where more than 200 children participated in a variety of activities including basketball, soccer, gymnastics, tumbling and rock wall climbing. Derek teamed up with Santa Claus in surprising the children on the soccer fi eld before handing out the gift bags with his elves from the Jeter’s Leaders program. Participants included the boys and girls basketball teams from eight local elementary schools in Washington Heights who are excelling both on the court and off, as well as the 3rd - 5th grade students who won the Turn 2 Us anti-bully poster contest.

In the evening, Derek headed to the Lost Battalion Hall Recreation Center in Queens, where he continued to put smiles on faces by surprising more than 200 children and again handing out gifts with Santa and his elves. The children enjoyed a carnival-themed celebration, which was organized by NYC Parks in partnership with the Turn 2 Foundation.

“Derek Jeter has inspired kids all over New York to work hard and achieve their dreams,” said NYC Parks assistant commissioner of public programs, Emily Chase. “NYC Parks is grateful for our partnership with the Turn 2 Foundation, which has brought enhanced after school programming to our Recreation Centers for nearly 20 years.”

Each child received one of the special holiday gift bags assembled earlier that month at Yankee Stadium by high school students from the New York Jeter’s Leaders program.

Later in the month, the festivities continued in West Michigan as high school students from the Kalamazoo Jeter’s Leaders pro-gram helped make spirits bright for students from the Greater Kalamazoo area during a special four-day tour to local schools and organizations.

The celebrations began at Western Michigan University on December 12th, where they handed out gift bags, wrapped gifts for families and crafted handmade holiday greetings that were later donated to a local nursing home. The following day, the Jeter’s Leaders visited Green Meadow Elementary School and Kalamazoo Central High School, where they decorated cookies and ornaments, played holiday games, and provided special gift bags and uplifting notes to the community.

On December 14th the Jeter’s Leaders spent time at Peace House, a community space dedicated to nurturing the next generation of leaders, offering children opportunities to learn, play and understand how they can strengthen their communities. The festive tour culminated the following day with stops to the Boys & Girls Club of Greater Kalamazoo and St. Augustine Cathedral School. During their time at St. Augustine Cathedral School, the Jeter’s Leaders participated in cookie deco-rating and other holiday activities with children and families of the Eleanor House, which provides a safe haven for homeless families who are preparing to move to independent housing.

“The Jeter’s Leaders demonstrate the true meaning of the holidays by giving back to their communities, and that is an incredible example for us all to follow,” said Derek. n

“From their personal growth to their academic achievements, these children continue to amaze me. They each deserve a happy holiday season, and I am excited to be able to celebrate with them at our Holiday Express ”

The Turn 2 Foundation was established in 1996 to motivate young people to turn away from drugs and alcohol and “Turn 2” healthy lifestyles.

In the 20 years since, Turn 2 has devoted its resources to helping these young people reach their full potential by fostering leadership development,

academic excellence, positive behavior and social change.

During its two-decade history, Turn 2 has given back more than $27 million, funding its signature programs as well

as organizations that support its mission.
