New York, NY – October 27, 2022 – The All Stars Project, Inc. (ASP), a national, privately-funded nonprofit organization providing award-winning free afterschool development programs for youth in poor and underserved communities, today announced it will honor Dr. Ralph Izzo, PSEG Executive Chair of the Board, Former President and CEO, at its upcoming New Jersey Benefit event, November 3, 2022, recognizing him for his leadership of PSEG’s generosity and partnership with the ASP of New Jersey.

Public Service Enterprise Group (PSEG) is a publicly traded (NYSE:PEG) diversified energy company headquartered in New Jersey, and one of the ten largest electric companies in the U.S. Dr. Izzo said, “I speak for our entire team, 95% of whom live and work in New Jersey, as well as myself, when I say we are proud to have a strong partnership with the All Stars Project of New Jersey. Public Service is core to our organization’s name and our identity. Through partnering with ASP, I have learned firsthand the importance of building connections to communities that have been historically excluded from the mainstream. As a result, everyone develops and grows; PSEG diversifies our organization and new opportunities are opened-up for underserved youth. It’s a win for everyone. The new ASP Hub in the Newark Gateway is a move that will benefit not just underserved youth, but local corporations and the Renaissance of greater Newark.”

During Dr. Izzo’s tenure as President and CEO, PSEG demonstrated significant support of the ASP, above and beyond financial support exceeding $1.6 million. In partnership with ASP’s Development School for Youth program, PSEG has sponsored 86 paid summer internships and hosted dozens of professional development workshops, activities, and events for young people in Newark and Jersey City, NJ. PSEG leadership and employees have also contributed thousands of volunteer hours as coaches, workshop leaders, intern supervisors, Board and Trustee members and more.

“We are proud of our long-standing partnership with PSEG and excited to honor Ralph Izzo for his unwavering support over the years,” said Shadae McDaniel, Vice President and City Leader, ASP of New Jersey. “Together with PSEG, ASP opens doors to valuable new connections for young people and caring adults, which results in youth development, corporate and community development.”

ASP will host a Grand Opening of their new Newark, NJ Headquarters at the Newark Gateway, concurrent with their annual Fall Benefit event, November 3, 2022. To learn more or purchase tickets, please click here: https://allstars.org/new-jersey-fall-2022-benefit-tickets/
