On Friday, October 20, 2023, a lively gathering of 200 guests filled the elegant Grand Ballroom at Maestro’s Caterers.  We gathered, with a shared purpose, to support the vital services Bronx NHS provides and to celebrate the accomplishments of the distinguished honorees during the Annual Community Impact Awards & Fundraiser Night.
 
After cocktails, hors d’oeuvres, and award presentations the guests feasted on a sumptuous dinner prepared by Maestro’s Caterers, Bronx Landmarks at tables adorned by Bamboo Party Hall, and danced to live performances by reggae sensation, Genaroots Band and DJ entertainment by Don’t Stop the Music. 
 
Our major donors were recognized which included, Webster Bank, Dime Savings Bank, M&T Bank, Quontic Bank, Eden General Construction, and ZTech Building Solutions Inc. among other valued contributors.  The event was attended by leading lawmakers and corporate stakeholders in the Bronx who share our vision of changing the housing trajectory for the better. The guests heard impactful messages from Bronx Borough President, Vanessa L. Gibson and NYS Senator Jamaal T. Bailey and the evening’s Keynote Speaker, New York City Council Member Kevin C.
