The Masquerade Gala

It was wonderful to be back together in person for our first Masquerade Gala in 3 years! Saturday night was full of excitement, generosity, and some fantastic costumes. 

Together, we raised over $100,000 for runaway and homeless teens in Westchester!

The food, donated from Silvio’s, was wonderful as always. Dressed as Ted Lasso, Our Master of Ceremonies Armand Paganelli outdid himself once again. Thank you all for bringing your amazing costumes and for giving generously!

Thanks to you, we can help keep homeless teens off the streets and get them on a path to success.

The Masquerade supports The Sanctuary: the only homeless shelter dedicated to teens in Westchester. Despite Westchester’s reputation for affluence, there is a significant underserved population of teenagers who are homeless or have run away from home due to an argument, emergency, or other circumstances. The Sanctuary gives them a safe place to stay and creates a stable housing and exit plan. As you can imagine, the work at The Sanctuary has become even more critical through the pandemic.
