It was a night of inspiration, legacy, and cross-cultural celebration as Sandra Brunson, Co-Founder and Chief Financial Officer at the Second Round Foundation, took the stage as Special Guest of Honor and Keynote Speaker at the Team Jamaica Bickle Gala in Long Island, New York.
Team Jamaica Bickle, one of SRF’s proud beneficiaries, has long been committed to providing hospitality and essential services for Caribbean athletes competing at the Penn Relays and other major track and field events in the U.S. Their work aligns closely with SRF’s mission to empower youth and provide opportunities that foster personal and professional growth.
Sandra’s keynote address was a powerful testament to the value of education, community leadership, and perseverance. She shared her personal journey, from a student-athlete at Temple University to a professional in litigation support and project management, highlighting the importance of resilience and purpose-driven work.
As a mother, mentor, and strategic leader, Sandra spoke directly to the heart of the evening’s message: the power of collective support. Her words reminded us that our success is not measured by individual accolades but by how we uplift others along the way.
The evening also recognized Sandra’s leadership at the Second Round Foundation, where she continues to champion initiatives that expand access and opportunity for underserved communities. Her presence at the Gala represented a powerful bridge between organizations working toward shared goals across diverse communities.
We are proud to see Sandra celebrated on such a meaningful platform and grateful for the continued partnership with Team Jamaica Bickle.
