On June 22nd, ABC hosted a dinner and photography exhibit at the June Kelly Gallery in tribute to the lives and legacies of the Honorable David N. Dinkins and Joyce Dinkins. David Dinkins was a longstanding member of ABC’s board of directors and both he and Joyce were staunch supporters of our mission to defend the right of every child to a joyful and nurturing childhood. The exhibit, ‘Their Love of New York’, featured the work of Nicole Buchenholz and Pierre Hauser that combined to capture the joy and grace of our kids, as well as the unique beauty and resilience of New York.
The Honorable David Paterson, who chaired the event and made a moving toast, was joined by ABC staff, board members, long-time supporters, and friends of David and Joyce Dinkins. Sharing stories and fond memories throughout the night, everyone agreed that they felt the enduring presence of David and Joyce in the room. Thank you to all the generous donors who made this event possible and to all the attendees for creating such a special atmosphere.
