New York Giants’ linebacker Keith Bullock will be honored with the Nicholas Scoppetta Child Welfare Award at the NYFC 2010 Fall Gala for his work with youth in foster care. The NYFC Fall Gala benefiting youth in foster care in New York City will take place on September 21st at Cipriani 42.

Past honorees include Secretary of State Hillary Rodham Clinton, Mary J. Blige, Geoffrey Canada and Russell Simmons.

NYFC will recognize Keith, a native New Yorker, for his longtime commitment and philanthropic efforts helping young people in foster care. At the age of 12, Keith was placed in foster care when his mother could no longer care for him.

In 2003, he founded The Keith Bulluck Believe & Achieve Foundation to help youth in foster care in Tennessee and New York. Bulluck said, “Young people in foster care often assume they will be stuck with positions that don’t have much upside after they leave the foster care system. It doesn’t have to be that way.  With a little focus, someone to bring you along and help you develop job skills, the possibilities are endless.”

Congratulations Keith!
