National Multiple Sclerosis Society
Structure Tone is a proud sponsor and long-time supporter of both the annual Race Against MS and the Society’s mission. The event raises funds to assist people living with multiple sclerosis and to support cutting-edge research to find a cure for the disease. The New York City–Southern New York Chapter of the National Multiple Sclerosis Society is committed to helping the 10,000 people living with multiple sclerosis in the five boroughs and Westchester, Putnam, Rockland, Orange and Sullivan Counties to move their lives forward. The chapter raises funds locally to support the Society’s critical research initiatives and to provide hundreds of comprehensive support services and educational programs for people living with multiple sclerosis, and their families and friends.
ACE Mentorship Program
Structure Tone New York is a proud participant in the ACE Mentor Program of Greater New York. Each year we mentor a team of high school students with the hope of inspiring them to pursue careers in design and construction. The ACE New York chapter reaches more than 700 students in New York City, Long Island and Westchester. Mike Neary, Chief Operating Officer, is a board member.
Teams of students and mentoring firms are assembled and meet throughout the school year at the firms’ offices. The students plan and design innovative projects mirroring “real-world” conditions while mentors help them develop solutions using basic problem-solving techniques and state-of-the-art design tools. The teams also tour construction sites and notable buildings to see first-hand what is required to design and erect these kinds of structures.
