Derek Jeter and family host the 25th annual Turn 2 Foundation Dinner

Cipriani Wall St once again played host to the greatest living Yankee and his foundation.

The idea first came about in 1996 when Derek Jeter and his father Charles ate pizza in a hotel room. The idea was to start a foundation that would support, mentor, and guide students in pursuit of higher education and leadership.

Fast forward to 2021 and thousands of kids have benefitted from The Turn 2 Foundation.

Led by Jeter’s younger sister, Sharlee, and with support from celebrities, friends, and countless community organizations, the foundation is thriving more than ever in its 25th year.
