HFC thank yous

Hello everyone,

We have had some great events and fundraisers these past few months and would like to thank all of our supporters…

A small group of Hope Players got together on October 21st and walked in the Making Strides Breast Cancer walk. We had a great time catching up and walking as a team for a great cause. Special thanks to The Ursuline School and Iona Prep for a donation of $1700 raised as part of their annual breast cancer walk. The money will part of our next donation to a local hospital research project. Last but not least Spooktoberfest! A very exciting and special event we have been a part of for years was a success yet again. There were many involved and we all successfully scared the crowds. Special thanks to Jason Summers, Frank Riccobono and the entire team at Greenburgh Parks and Recreation!
