Derek Jeter and the New York Yankees will help 500 children from the 5 boroughs of New York City celebrate the Holidays! The Turn 2 Holiday Express is one of the activities created by Derek Jeter’s Turn 2 Foundation to reward children involved in Turn 2’s Signature Programs, who are demonstrating positive behavior, academic excellence, and leadership qualities in school and their communities. Turn 2’s mission is to motivate young people to turn away from drugs and alcohol and “Turn To” healthy lifestyles.

This year, Derek and Santa will bring Holiday cheer to the children who are part of the Foundation’s Signature programs at Wollman Rink in Central Park on Monday, December 22nd. The children will enjoy a private evening of ice skating followed by a surprise visit from Derek, Santa, and his elves, the New York Jeter’s Leaders. Each child will receive a special holiday gift bag.

On December 3rd, the New York Jeter’s Leaders assembled approximately 1,000 gift bags at their annual holiday gift wrapping at Yankee Stadium. These gift bags contain items generously donated by the New York Yankees and sponsors of the Turn 2 Foundation. The Jeter’s Leaders are high school students recognized for their academic achievements, extracurricular activities, community service, who are responsible for delivering a positive message to their peers.

Turn 2 Foundation’s programs and activities all share the same goal of helping today’s youth become the leaders of tomorrow!
