Dear Neighbor,
Thank you for joining us for another week in review.
The 30th Annual Tour de Bronx bike ride is in just under one week! We want to thank all of the sponsors and media partners who stopped by our press conference yesterday. It was a great way to kick off the festivities! Go to ilovethebronx.com so you register to ride with us on Sunday, October 6th.
We also want to take this time to recognize the passing of Ozzie Virgil Sr. Ozzie was a pioneer in the world of baseball, a 2024 Bronx Walk of Fame inductee, and a symbol of resilience and hope for our community. Ozzie made history as the first Dominican player in Major League Baseball, breaking barriers during a challenging time in our nation’s history. His courage to step onto that field inspired generations of athletes, and he has left an indelible mark on our city. Our thoughts and prayers are with the Virgil family and all those who were touched by his remarkable life and career. May his legacy continue to inspire and remind us of the impact that one person can have in bringing communities together and creating a more inclusive world.
Lastly, a reminder to join us on Thursday, October 3rd at 5:30 PM for our Annual Hispanic Heritage Month celebration at Bronx Borough Hall. We hope to see you there!
If you have any questions or concerns, please do not hesitate to contact our office at 718-590-3500 or email us at webmail@bronxbp.nyc.gov.
In partnership,
Bronx Borough President Vanessa L. Gibson
IN THE COMMUNITY
The 30th Annual Tour de Bronx is just days away, and I want to personally thank all of our generous sponsors and media partners who joined us at yesterday's press conference. Your support is crucial in making this iconic event a success and celebrating the Bronx in all its vibrancy.
Last week, we had joined with NYC H+H Jacobi and North Central Bronx for Healthy Conversations where we held a powerful discussion focused on women's health and fibroids. We're grateful to the experts who shared invaluable insights and resources to empower women to take control of their health.
We also celebrated the vibrant and beautiful Asian Mid-Autumn Festival at Borough Hall. It was a joyful gathering filled with culture, tradition, and community. Thank you to everyone who joined us in honoring this special occasion, and a big shoutout to the performers and organizers who made the event so memorable.
We are one family. We are honored to have joined elected officials and the Riverdale community to celebrate the incredible legacies of Betty Campbell-Adams and Lloyd Adams, founders of Lloyd's Carrot Cake, at their official Street Co-Naming Ceremony. Thank you to Council Member Eric Dinowitz, Assemblyman Jeffrey Dinowitz, The Female Fight Club, Community Board 8, the Van Cortlandt Alliance, and friends for honoring their memories.
