2026 Mission Statement: Elevating Legacy, Expanding Impact

As we reflect on everything Thimbrel Worldwide accomplished in 2025, one thing is clear: our mission is growing, our reach is expanding, and our commitment to community is stronger than ever.

From hosting large-scale community events to honoring youth excellence and advocating for safer neighborhoods, 2025 was a year of action. Now, in 2026, we move forward with greater intention and an even bigger vision.

🌍 Our Core Mission for 2026

In 2026, Thimbrel Worldwide is committed to:

Building legacy. Empowering youth. Strengthening community. Creating sustainable impact.

Everything we do will continue to center around these pillars.

🎓 Expanding Youth Empowerment

After successfully hosting the first Kids Excellence Awards and awarding scholarships to graduating students, 2026 will focus on expanding youth recognition and mentorship opportunities.

We aim to:

• Grow the Kids Excellence Awards to reach even more students

• Increase scholarship fundraising efforts

• Create mentorship and leadership development opportunities

• Partner with additional schools and athletic programs

Our youth are not just the future — they are the present. And we will continue to invest in them.

🏆 Strengthening the Legacy Award Tradition

With the introduction of the Thimbrel Worldwide Legacy Award and honoring our first recipient, Donell Canmu-Campbell, we established a powerful new tradition.

In 2026, we will:

• Formalize the Legacy Award nomination process

• Highlight honorees year-round

• Preserve and celebrate community leadership stories

Only one individual will receive this award each year — ensuring it remains a prestigious and meaningful honor.

🎉 Growing Community Events & Traditions

The success of the Edgecombe Back to School Block Party proved what’s possible when a community comes together. In 2026, we plan to:

• Expand attendance and programming

• Increase partnerships with local businesses

• Add more youth-centered activities

• Strengthen volunteer involvement

We also plan to grow seasonal initiatives like:

• The Halloween Costume Contest

• Summer hydration efforts through NY Quench Quest

Community presence matters — and we will continue to show up.

🚧 Advocating for Safer Neighborhoods

Our advocacy efforts — from proposing dome mirror installations to engaging homeowners and city officials — demonstrated that real change begins with civic engagement.

In 2026, we will:

• Continue working with local officials and departments

• Push forward community safety initiatives

• Encourage residents to use their voices for positive change

Safety is not optional. It is essential.

🤝 Building Strategic Partnerships

Our collaborations with organizations like Swish Athletics, community leaders, vendors, DJs, and local cooks made 2025 events possible.

In 2026, we aim to:

• Strengthen existing partnerships

• Develop new collaborations across NYC

• Expand our presence beyond single-event impact

We believe partnership multiplies purpose.

💡 Innovation & Visibility

From NFC-enabled keychains to digital speech uploads and grassroots petitioning, we embraced innovation in 2025.

In 2026, we will:

• Increase our digital presence

• Improve community communication

• Enhance brand visibility

• Create new fundraising and engagement tools

We’re not just building events — we’re building a movement.

🔥 The 2026 Commitment

Thimbrel Worldwide was built on integrity, service, and leadership. In 2026, we commit to:

• Being present.

• Being proactive.

• Being purpose-driven.

• Being consistent.

Our mission is not seasonal. It is ongoing.

Thank you to everyone who supported our journey in 2025. The foundation has been laid. The momentum is real. And the vision is bigger than ever.

2026 is about elevation.

2026 is about legacy.

2026 is about impact.

Warm regards,

Myles Thimbrel

September Highlights: Celebrating Community, Honoring Youth, and Building Legacy

September was an unforgettable month for Thimbrel Worldwide. From bringing neighbors together for our first annual Edgecombe Back to School Block Party to hosting the inaugural Kids Excellence Awards alongside Swish Athletics, we made lasting memories while strengthening our commitment to the community. Here’s a look back at what we accomplished this month:

🎉 Edgecombe Back to School Block Party

On September 6, 2025, we proudly hosted the first annual Edgecombe Back to School Block Party — and it was an incredible success! With over 200 attendees, the day was filled with joy, energy, and community spirit.

The event featured:

• 🎲 Fun games for kids and families

• 🍧 Icees, ice cream, and popcorn

• 🎒 A book bag giveaway to prepare students for the school year

• 📚 Ms. Arlene’s Library, where free books were available to read and take home

Of course, no block party is complete without great food! Over 200 hot dogs, 100 hamburgers, and 100 pounds of chicken were grilled to perfection by Lowe Cooks. Music for the day was curated by the one and only DJ Harlem Girl, creating the perfect vibe.

This event was just the beginning — we look forward to making the Edgecombe Block Party a yearly tradition!

🏅 The First Kids Excellence Awards

On September 26, 2025, Thimbrel Worldwide and Swish Athletics co-hosted the inaugural Kids Excellence Awards in Staten Island at the YMCA Gerard Carter Center.

The event was an overwhelming success, with 20 students honored for their academic, athletic, and community achievements. We were proud to shine a spotlight on these bright young leaders who embody the values of excellence and dedication.

🌟 The Thimbrel Worldwide Legacy Award

At the Kids Excellence Awards, we also unveiled a new tradition: the Thimbrel Worldwide Legacy Award.

This honor was created to recognize individuals of stature, commitment, and integrity — people who influence not only children but entire communities through leadership and service. Only one Legacy Award will be presented each year, making it a truly special distinction.

This year, the first-ever Legacy Award was presented to Donnell Canmu, whose contributions and dedication have made a profound impact on his community.

👻 Looking Ahead: October Community Giveback

As we move into October, we’re excited to continue giving back to our community. This Halloween, Thimbrel Worldwide will host a costume contest with prizes for the winners! We can’t wait to see the creativity and spirit that our community will bring to this fun-filled event.

September reminded us of the power of community, the importance of celebrating our youth, and the value of honoring those who lead with integrity. Thank you to everyone who joined us, supported us, and helped us make these events a success.

Together, we’re building tradition, honoring legacy, and inspiring the next generation.

June Highlights: Scholarships, Summer Support & Stronger Community Ties

June was an incredible month filled with action, advocacy, and connection. At Thimbrel Worldwide, we stayed true to our mission — serving the community, uplifting youth, and championing safety. From scholarship awards to street-level hydration efforts, here’s what we accomplished this month:

🎓 Scholarships for Student Excellence

We’re proud to share that we raised over $500 by selling our signature air fresheners to support educational excellence at Harriet Tubman Charter School. These funds helped us award scholarships to both the Valedictorian and Salutatorian of the graduating class.

Our President, Myles Thimbrel, had the honor of presenting the scholarships following his impactful keynote speech. You can now watch his full speech on YouTube and Instagram — we encourage you to check it out and share with your networks!

📋 Petitioning for the Edgecombe Block Party

This month, we launched a petition to gain support for the upcoming Edgecombe Back to School Block Party — and the response was amazing! Over 250+ community members signed in support.

We successfully submitted our event application to NYC SAPO, and now we await permit approval. Fingers crossed! Thank you to everyone who added their name and helped push this community celebration forward.

💧 Launching: The NY Quench Quest

June marked the beginning of a brand new summer initiative — NY Quench Quest.

This campaign invites individuals and businesses to pledge donations so we can provide ice-cold water to the community on extremely hot days throughout the summer. It’s a simple act of kindness that can go a long way when temperatures rise.

Want to be part of it? Stay tuned for upcoming donation and volunteer opportunities!

🏀 Courtside at Rucker Park

We were proud to attend several basketball games at the legendary Rucker Park, showing support for local Harlem athletes and the broader community. There’s nothing like watching hometown talent shine — and nothing more meaningful than being part of the energy that brings us together.

🚗 Safer Streets Advocacy at SHOA2

On June 17, Myles Thimbrel spoke at the SHOA2 Homeowners Meeting to address the dangerous blindspots at the entrance and exit of the SHOA2 parking lot.

He presented a formal letter to the NYC Department of Transportation requesting a dome mirror installation. The proposal received outstanding support from local homeowners, who are now backing the effort through a community petition.

This is a major step forward in our campaign for safer streets, and we’re thankful to have the support of engaged, proactive neighbors.

🙌 Moving Forward

From scholarships to safety initiatives, June has been a month of heart, hustle, and hope. Thank you to everyone who donated, signed, showed up, or shared our work.

Stay connected, stay inspired — and we’ll see you in July.

May Monthly Recap: Building Partnerships, Empowering Youth & Expanding Our Vision

As we wrap up the month of May, we’re proud to share the meaningful strides we’ve made to uplift our community, engage with local leaders, and push forward innovative ideas. Here’s a quick look at what we accomplished this month:

🌟 Partnering with Swish Athletics

We officially partnered with Swish Athletics to create The Kids Excellence Awards, a new event that will celebrate the achievements of outstanding youth in our community. The inaugural awards ceremony is set for August, and we’re excited to recognize the next generation of leaders, athletes, and change-makers.

🚧 Advocating for Safer Streets

This month, we attended city council meetings, met with local politicians, and presented a community safety initiative: installing a dome mirror outside of a local parking lot to reduce blind spots and prevent near-miss accidents. It’s a small change with the potential to make a big impact on daily safety.

🌬️ Fundraising for Future Graduates

To support graduating students from Harriet Tubman Charter School, we launched a fundraiser selling custom air fresheners for just $6. All proceeds will go toward presenting scholarships at the school’s graduation in June. Thank you to everyone who’s supported this cause — you’re investing in a brighter future!

🎉 Block Party Planning Underway

We’ve begun consulting the idea of a Community Block Party for this August. While the event is still in the early planning stages, we’re excited about the potential to bring neighbors together for a day of fun, music, local vendors, and unity.

🎓 President Thimbrel to Deliver Keynote

We’re proud to announce that our President, Myles Thimbrel, has been selected as the keynote speaker for the Harriet Tubman Charter School graduation in June. His leadership and commitment to community impact make him the perfect voice to inspire the graduating class.

🔗 NFC Keychains Are Here!

In collaboration with MG3D Prints, we launched a new line of Thimbrel Worldwide keychains fitted with NFC chips that link directly to our website. These sleek, tech-enabled keychains are a fun and interactive way to stay connected with our mission.

Thank you to everyone who supported us throughout May. We’re energized by the momentum and excited for what’s to come this summer.

Stay tuned — big things are ahead!
