Bronx Borough President Vanessa L. Gibson - Community Resources & Updates

 

Dear Neighbor,


We want to thank everyone who participated in this year`s Bronx Week festivities! Many of you joined us last year as we celebrated the 51st anniversary of Bronx Week, and each year, we set out to make it bigger and better than the last.


From our Bronx Week Press Conference launch at the new Chase Community Center to our Labor Leaders Breakfast, Bankers Breakfast, Silent Disco, Health Day, Veterans Appreciation Luncheon, Centenarian Celebration, BX Factor Competition, and our Grand Finale Concert, Food and Arts Festival, and Parade - we are showing the rest of the city why we are exceptional, and why our borough is the best place to live, work, visit, and raise your family. However, our team could not do this work without you and without our amazing sponsors!


We hope you will also join us on Thursday, May 23rd, for our CCNY Studio Award Ceremony at Bronx Borough Hall and our 2nd Annual Prom Dress Giveaway Event on Friday, May 24th, at 730 Concourse Village West. Additional information on these events can be found in this week`s newsletter.


Thank you for all of your support, and we look forward to seeing you as we celebrate Bronx Week 2025!


In partnership,

Bronx Borough President Vanessa L. Gibson

IN THE COMMUNITY


Thank you to everyone who came out for our Annual Bronx Week Centenarian Event recognizing our older adults (90+) for their contributions to our communities.


Their wisdom has guided us for over 90 years as a borough, and we are eternally grateful.


Congratulations to the winners of the first-ever BX Factor competition during Bronx Week!


The inaugural winner is Gomez Design Studio and the two runner-up businesses were Bronx Native and Green Canvas Productions.


In the Bronx, our small businesses are essential to our communities and our continued economic growth. Thank you to the Bronx Economic Development Corporation, the New York Yankees, Santander Bank, and all of our other community partners for their support of this important event.
