VNSNY Celebrates 125 Years
Amazing! VNSNY Gala Raises a Record $1.32 Million for Our Charitable Care Programs
November 13, 2018–This year’s VNSNY Gala, celebrating VNSNY’s 125th anniversary with the theme, “Enriching Lives: 125 Years and Counting!”, ended up making history in its own right. The event, held on November 8th in the recently renovated Ziegfeld Ballroom, raised a record-breaking $1,320,000 in donations from the nearly 600 people in attendance, shattering the previous mark set four years ago. “All of the Gala’s proceeds will go to support our vital charitable care and community benefit programs,” says Catherine Callaway, Vice President of Marketing and Development. These include a wide range of important safety-net programs such as VNSNY’s Nurse-Family Partnership, Hospice services, and the VNSNY Research Center. For example, money raised from the event will go to create brighter futures for young mothers like Ashley, who, as she says, “was in a bad place” and needed help.
