Generous Sponsors, The Bronx Beer Hall and Revelers Make UNHP 2017 Fundraiser a Success!
It was a packed house at The Bronx Beer Hall for UNHP’s 2017 Fundraiser. Good company, raffles by the wingspan and the free drink “token” were among the evening’s highlights.
UNHP’s 2017 Fundraiser at The Bronx Beer Hall on Wednesday September 13, 2017 was a networking, fundraising and good time success. Over 150 people attended UNHP’s annual fundraiser, held for the fourth time at The Bronx Beer Hall in the center of the historic Arthur Avenue Retail Market. The Bronx was highlighted in the food and drink with beers from Gun Hill Brewing Company, a gourmet non-stop pizza selection from Zero Otto Nove and a variety of handmade gelato from Caffe Gelato.
Gourmet pizza, craft beer, and six flavors of handmade gelato were on the menu. UNHP also celebrated the birthday of our board member, Brian Byrne and UNHP’s youngest honorary staff member, Bella. The cake was from Arthur Avenue – of course!
Thanks to our many sponsors and individual donors, UNHP was able to raise over $60,000 to support our work in the coming year, including our efforts to identify and address distressed multifamily buildings, share research around emerging issues in the Bronx and offer a wide variety of affordable housing and financial services to community residents. Sponsors were acknowledged on our custom pint glasses created by The Bronx Design Group.
Many generous sponsors helped us to reach our 2017 fundraising goals. Pictured clockwise, representatives of Apple Bank for Savings, Emigrant Bank, Yougie Ironworks, Sandra Erickson Real Estate and Dougert Management.

Let’s not forget the UNHP Raffles! The wingspan for $20 was our top seller and special thanks to our raffle prize donors and our raffle sellers. With a New York Botanical Garden membership, 2 sets of Yankee tickets, Bronx Museum of the Arts membership, Fordham University and Monroe College swag, Bronx Beer Hall and From the Bronx.com goodie bags and a tour of the Edgar Allen Poe Cottage, the prizes reflected our Bronx roots! A year membership to Citibike, NY Jets and Giants signed posters, NY Red Bulls tickets, and autographed copies of A Colony in a Nation by Chris Hayes rounded off our Bronx selection of prizes.
