Our 2017 Gala raised funds for more than 11 programs – in-school, after-school and in summer sports scholarships.
The generous support of Sophie Gerson Healthy Youth (SGHY) sponsors and friends brought opportunities in sports, dance, outdoor nature, hands-on science, and summer camp to public middle schools in low income communities where students lack those opportunities. We are most grateful for this year’s participation from benefactors throughout the City.
