The future of podcasting is in excellent hands! 🎙️
Two adorable members of the Kips Bay Boys & Girls Club — Dymin and Davina — stepped up to the mic and completely stole the show during a surprise interview with Russell Wilson, Ciara, and George Oliphant.
During their super cute Q&A session, they discussed:
🔸 The Why Not You Foundation
🔸 NBC’s George to the Rescue
🔸 The Bronx’s new Why Not You Center
It was truly “majestic” to see these young leaders using their voices to enlighten and inspire us all. Their curiosity, confidence, and joy were not only contagious, but they also served as a beautiful reminder that when children are given the space to shine, they soar. 🌟🚀 #podcastshow #explorepage
🌿💙 Real conversations, real growth.
Our Palmaro teens took Brent’s Club outdoors to reflect on how different choices and paths can lead us in different directions. Creating space for honest dialogue, perspective, and personal growth—this is what it’s all about.

For over a century, the Kips Bay Boys & Girls Club has served as a cornerstone of the Bronx community. Today, with a $1M investment and thoughtful transformation, the new Why Not You Center opens its doors after being reimagined as a safe haven where dreams take root, confidence grows, and future dreams begin.
Many thanks to @dangerrusswilson and @ciara , who through @whynotyoufdn , have inspired young people to lead with a bold “Why Not You?” mindset as they turn possibility into action every single day. Additionally, a huge shoutout to beyond talented interior designer @coreydamenjenkins and the incredible @silverlining_inc team — along with @perigold , @abbondanzacontracting , @antonio_pulgarin , and more generous contributors — for pouring their heart and energy into this project and turning it into a beautiful reality! #renovation #community #explorepage
SONYC members got hands on this week as Mr. Bryce brought his mechanic background from Boys 2 Men to life.
From oil changes to tool identification, members learned the fundamentals of automotive maintenance and by the end, they were able to explain the process, name the tools, and understand the importance of proper car care.
This is just the beginning of Mr. Bryce’s workshop, with more exciting lessons ahead. Even staff walked away learning something new.
Never too early to build real world skills.

This is an exciting week! We’re thrilled to be featured on the Emmy-winning show, George to the Rescue @george2rescue this Saturday, May 2, at 9:30 AM (EDT) on WNBC.
For over 30 years, SilverLining has been a proud partner of the Kips Bay Boys & Girls Club @kipsbaybgc and this project is one of the most meaningful expressions of that commitment yet. This year, we played matchmaker to Corey Damen Jenkins @coreydamenjenkins and Kips Bay Boys & Girls Club for George to the Rescue. Together, we transformed a teen lounge and bodega at the Kips Bay clubhouse in the Bronx. NBC called it “one of the best reveals in the history of the show.”
The project was punctuated by a surprise visit from Russell Wilson @dangerusswilson and Ciara @ciara of the Why Not You Foundation @whynotyoufdn , who contributed $1M to this project. We couldn’t be prouder of what this team created together for the 11,000 children Kips Bay serves.
This marks our fifth collaboration with George to the Rescue and a continuation of our commitment to give back to the community we call home.
The full episode will be available to stream on Peacock and YouTube!
Did you catch @georgeoliphant on the TODAY show this morning? 💙
Joined by Brittany D. Icaza of Kips Bay Boys & Girls Club, he shared the story behind the renovation of the Coudair Clubhouse — which was led by interior designer Corey Damen Jenkins, Silver Lining, Perigold and more generous contributors. The stunning transformation of this life-changing community hub was done on behalf of the amazing kids who fill that space with joyful energy every day, as well as the organization’s impactful programs.
With support from Russell Wilson and Ciara through the Why Not You Foundation, the project brought new life to the clubhouse, creating a place where local youth in the Bronx can feel comfortable and inspired. Seeing their excited reactions says it all! ✨ #todayshow #explorepage #community
📱💙 Using social media for good.
At Throggs Neck, we’re teaching our members how to use the platforms right at their fingertips to spread positivity, kindness, and encouragement. This beautiful mural is a reflection of that — showing how KB kids uplift one another both online and offline.
Changing the world one text, one post, and one act of kindness at a time. ✨

An exciting reveal for the most amazing kids!✨
The new Why Not You community lounge at @kipsbaybgc — designed by Corey Damen Jenkins — was created as a true hangout space for the teens who use it every day. Perigold’s generous donation of beautiful furnishings and accessories helped transform the room in a meaningful way, with modern, bespoke pieces that elevated the room and infused a sense of color, comfort, and personality throughout. And the result? A vibrant, welcoming space to not only set down roots in but that also provides local youth with the opportunity to connect, grow and flourish for many years to come. 🌿💛 #interiordesign
