Godni was honored with New York City’s Top Volunteer Award in recognition of his unwavering dedication to children affected by cancer through his work with A Free Bird. As part of this special recognition, he had the opportunity to meet Chirlane McCray, the First Lady of New York City and wife of then-Mayor Bill de Blasio.
The moment marked a significant milestone for both Godni and the organization, highlighting the impact of A Free Birdon the lives of countless young artists. Meeting the First Lady was not only an honor—it was a powerful reminder of the importance of advocacy, service, and the arts in healing and empowering youth.
