Hudson Guild's 11th Annual Benefit

On Wednesday, April 20th, we held our 11th Annual Benefit where we honored long-time supporters Tony & Susan Gilroy, celebrated our work, and raised $1,100,000 to support our programs! We were fortunate to have Nini Davis-Escue, who has been active in Hudson Guild programs for about 20 years and who spoke at the first Hudson Guild Benefit, come back to give a spoken word performance at this year's event. A very special thanks to everyone who attended and donated. It is through your generosity and support of our mission that allows us to continue providing for the community we serve.

A big thank you to all the corporate volunteers from IAC who helped give the garden behind the Fulton Center a much-needed facelift on April 28th! Benches and planters were given a fresh coat of paint, dozens of caladium were potted and a fresh coat of mulch had the space looking spruced up and ready for the season!
