Hilton Pearl River
Thank you for joining us!
A Night for Change is an evening of meaning and gratitude—bringing together community leaders, advocates and supporters who believe that safety, dignity and stability should be within reach for everyone. We proudly honored two pillars of our community whose leadership and service reflect the values at the heart of our mission. Linie, our outgoing Board Chair, has guided the Center with vision and compassion for six years, strengthening our work and our future. Joe, Mayor of Nyack, has long demonstrated a commitment to community, civic responsibility and corporate philanthropy. Together, their leadership is a force for good.
