The UNHP 2015 Bronx Beer Hall fundraiser was a Bronx triumph! The Wednesday, September 16th event was attended by over 170 people and thanks to our sponsors, attendees, contributors and raffle buyers we raised over $50,000! All proceeds support our work to create and preserve affordable housing and bring needed resources to the northwest Bronx.

The Bronx Beer Hall, owned and managed by two Bronx brothers, Paul and Anthony Ramirez, is located in the center court of the historic Arthur Avenue Retail Market. UNHP event attendees enjoyed the beer, food and good company among the delicious smells and atmosphere of this authentic market created in 1940 as part of Mayor Fiorello LaGuardia’s plan to get pushcarts off NYC streets.
