2006 El Dia de los Niños Celebration

On Thursday, May 18, 2006 at The New York Times, The Committee for Hispanic Children and Families (CHCF) celebrated El Dia de los Niños with a special breakfast. CHCF organizes this annual event to introduce our organization and its programs to new corporate friends and to thank its existing corporate sponsors for supporting its services on behalf of the Latino children and families.

Univision News Anchor Denisse Oller served as MC for the event. Honorable Joel Rivera, Majority Leader of the New York City Council, provided a special introduction to keynote speaker Christine Quinn, Speaker of the New York City Council.

This year, Johnson & Johnson received CHCF’s Corporate MVP ( Most Valuable Partner) Award for the company's commitment to social responsibility and to improving the diverse communities in which they live and work.  It is reflected not only in theory company credo but exemplified by a number of key community initiatives.  Johnson & Johnson has a long established tradition of supporting on going health care, educational and cultural programs and has generously funded CHCF’s work for many years especially in the area of HIV/AIDS. 

El Dia de Los Niños (The Day of the Children) is an event celebrated throughout Latin America.  Here in the United States El Dia de Los Niños has been adopted by a number of organizations and groups that are committed to the well-being of Latino children.
