IN THE COMMUNITY

Had an amazing time celebrating at the Throggs Neck St. Patrick’s Day Parade this weekend! A huge thank you to the organizers, participants, and everyone who came out to keep this tradition alive. The Bronx’s Irish pride was on full display! 

Honoring the rich history, culture, and contributions of the Irish community in the Bronx! Congratulations to this year’s incredible honorees—your dedication and impact inspire us all. Thank you to everyone who joined us in celebrating Irish heritage and unity!

Education opens doors, and our Higher Education College Fair was a huge success in connecting Bronx scholars with the resources they need to elevate their futures. A huge thanks to our Bronx Higher Education Task Force for their partnership in expanding opportunities for our students.

Our Deputy Borough President represented the Bronx at the NYC Emergency Management event recognizing SAGE Center Bronx as the Older Adult Center of the Year. SAGE provides vital services, advocacy, and a welcoming space for our LGBTQIA+ elders, ensuring they receive the care and respect they deserve. Congratulations to SAGE Bronx on this well-earned recognition!

We are proud to celebrate the incredible achievements of women who are making a profound impact on our community and beyond. The women we honored—Denise Abney, Linda Collazo, Melissa Cebollero, Lissette Rivera, Michelle Santiago, Alyssa Tucker, and our NYCHA Tenant Association Presidents—embody the strength, resilience, and leadership that define the Bronx. As we celebrate Women’s History Month, let us continue to uplift and support women who are breaking barriers and paving the way for future generations.  Thank you to emcee Elly Moriilo & our Keynote Speaker Arva Rice.
