Gramatan Village Marks 20 Years with Roaring ’20s Benefit at Bronxville Field Club

On Wednesday, June 3, Gramatan Village (GV) will host its 2026 Spring Into Summer Benefit at the Bronxville Field Club, marking 20 years of helping older adults remain independent, connected, and supported at home. The Roaring ’20s–inspired evening will feature live music, a silent auction, raffle prizes, and festive touches throughout.

Founded in 2006 by John Corry, Rockhill Gray, and Christina “Tina” Staudt, Gramatan Village was inspired by Boston’s Beacon Hill “aging in place” model — reimagining how older adults can remain in their own homes and communities with the support they need. Two decades later, GV has become a vital part of the Bronxville community.

This year’s event will honor three community members whose impact reflects that mission:

●Christina “Tina” Staudt, Founding Director: Instrumental from GV’s very first day to our current success, steering the organization’s vision.

●Amy Brown, Dedicated Community Leader: Enriching Bronxville through service and volunteerism.

●Reid Craig, GV Student Volunteer of the Year: Providing exceptional tech support to our members through the Techy Teens program.

The evening is led by Benefit Co-Chairs Alanna Leavell and Carolyn Mattson and Event Coordinator Gina Nigido Lander whose leadership is helping bring this special anniversary celebration to life.

Guests will enjoy a lively, vintage-inspired atmosphere with wine, delicious fare, festive details throughout the evening, and musical entertainment by jazz vocalist Grace Radonis, whose timeless standards will capture the spirit of the Roaring ’20s celebration. The event will also feature a curated silent auction, and an exciting lineup of raffle prizes. Roaring ’20s attire is welcome but entirely optional.

“We are thrilled to mark this milestone with a celebration that reflects the energy and generosity of our community,” said Grace Gilmer, Executive Director of Gramatan Village. “Honoring Tina, Amy, and Reid shines a light on the people who make Gramatan Village so special — and helps ensure we can continue this important work for years to come.”

Proceeds from the evening will directly support Gramatan Village’s programs and services, helping older adults remain in their homes with confidence, connection, and access to trusted support.

Gramatan Village also offers meaningful and flexible volunteer opportunities for both adults and teens, creating easy ways to get involved, give back, and build real connections across generations.

Tickets are available now atwww.gramatanvillage.org.

Gramatan Village extends its sincere thanks to the sponsors whose generosity helps make this celebration possible.
