Inaugural Hudson Gateway REALTOR Foundation Gala in New Rochelle in September

Written by LANNING TALIAFERRO (Patch Staff)

The Hudson Gateway Association of REALTORS® (HGAR) is hosting its inaugural Hudson Gateway REALTOR® Foundation Gala Sept. 17 at Glen Island Harbour Club in New Rochelle, NY.

This First Annual Gala will benefit Make-A-Wish® Hudson Valley, Green Chimneys, People to People and other local charities.

The Foundation was created for the purpose of giving back to local communities by donating funds to charitable organizations throughout the Hudson Valley. While the Foundation has held smaller events and contributed to local non-profit organizations in the past, this is its first major fundraising undertaking.

“We thought it was important to really put the Foundation on the map and make everyone aware of the great work that’s being accomplished by charities like Make-A-Wish and so many others throughout the Hudson Valley,” said Drew Kessler, HGAR President. “This is going to be a fantastic event, and we’re confident we’ll be able to raise significant monies to benefit our local charities.”

Tickets are $125 per person.
