...itself. It's Harvard meeting Yale. Whether it be in the parking lot, at the keg party or across the chess board, the events surrounding the game make the occasion such a festival. It's an opportunity for people who wouldn't otherwise be somewhere near center-stage to shine, in the band, on the radio dial, wherever. For that, The Game is, indeed, worth caring for, worth going to, and maybe even worth rooting...

Gym class no longer means a risk of physical assault whenever the coach isn't looking. Cries for help are finally being listened to.

...culminating moment of the program--the CityStep show--is most dependent on the Benefit Ball. The funds that we raise from the Ball each year allow us to place these children on a star-studded stage, giving them the chance to shine in front of hundreds of onlookers. A core of talented Harvard students create every aspect of the show, including the theme, choreography and music composition. By setting the standard of the show at such a high level, each CityStep student learns about the rigors and benefits of an entire year of hard work driven toward a final goal...
