Thank you for a wonderful 2019 Gala!

What a night. The 40th North Star Fund Community Gala was over 650 New Yorkers strong celebrating the power of grassroots movements.

We cheered on our inspiring Frederick Douglass honorees, Columbia County Sanctuary Movement and Release Aging People in Prison. We heard powerful calls to action from North Star Awardees Barbara WinslowMaurice Mitchell and Linda Sarsour. And we started out the night with an incredible performance by the Brooklyn Unity Band.

We’re #40YearsBold thanks to everyone in the North Star Fund Community.

Thank You to Our 2019 Honorees

Thank you to our our Community Gala Donor Partners, whose contributions allow for this extraordinary evening while also supporting our programs year-round. We couldn’t do this without you!
