A couple of years ago, Sylvester Knox participated in an event at Newark Emergency Services for Families where two-hundred local children came to the facility for a day of learning. Sylvester had the chance to interact with the children and discuss what he does for a living. Many of the children came from difficult backgrounds. However, they were excited to listen to Sylvester and learn that there are other possibilities than living in poverty for the rest of their lives. This experience is one of Sylvester’s best memories when it comes to helping others. It’s one of the reasons why he has continued to support Newark Emergency Services for Families throughout the years.
