“Habitat NYC, an independent affiliate of Habitat for Humanity recently became our neighbors by expanding into Westchester and rebranding as Habitat NYC and Westchester, so we wanted to provide a very warm welcome to our new neighbors and partners,” said Tim Foley, CEO of the BRI. “Habitat’s mission has always been to transform lives and communities by building and preserving affordable homes with families in need, and by uniting all New Yorkers around the cause of affordable housing. The BRI share that same focus on building the housing we need and making it possible for more working families to call Westchester their home.”
The charity golf outing was a success with over 50 players, despite the intermittent drizzle. Others attendees joined for the cocktail and reception dinner, which began at 5:30 p.m. Attendees had the opportunity to participate in raffle drawings and win prizes, with all the proceeds going to Habitat for Humanity: New York City and Westchester County.
