Park Slope Civic Council

Support Hurricane Recovery at Chió
2012-11-12 18:00 - 21:00 UTC | Chió Restaurant, 117 Columbia St., Brooklyn, NY, United States
The Brooklyn Greenway Initiative has many friends, program partners, and supporters who live and work along Brooklyn’s waterfront — especially in Red Hook, which was among those neighborhoods hardest hit by last week’s hurricane. With so many pressing needs for assistance, we have decided to donate the proceeds from our fall benefit to the newly formed Brooklyn Recovery Fund, a Hurricane Sandy relief fund jointly administered by the Brooklyn Community Foundation, the Brooklyn Chamber of Commerce and the Brooklyn Borough President’s Office.
