On November 15 in New York City, the Greek America Foundation hosted a celebration for Greek America’s Forty Under 40 class of 2024 with hundreds of guests coming from throughout the United States, Canada and beyond.
Honorees received their awards during a celebratory night at Melrose Penthouse in Astoria, Queens, the Greekest neighborhood in North America.
The Forty Under 40 Awards are the leading recognition for North Americans of Greek descent, 40 years old and under, celebrating the community’s top young talent in business, the arts, the sciences and other fields. The awards recognize those who have excelled in their professional endeavors while simultaneously showing care and concern for the world around them through philanthropic initiatives.
Similar to the classes before them, the class of 2024 includes CEOs, lawyers, academics, digital content creators, actors, musicians and many other professionals — all of whom are also deeply involved in philanthropic causes.
“We launched Greek America’s Forty Under 40 in 2010 as a way to recognize, honor and celebrate the brightest and most successful members of our community who excel not only professionally but also philanthropically,” Greek America Foundation Founder and President Gregory Pappas said. “We are proud to continue this tradition in 2024.”
Including the latest honorees, the Forty Under 40 Awards have now recognized 280 exceptional individual from various walks of life and from throughout North America.
