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.
