The festive event was held at the Mid-Hudson Discovery Museum, creating a warm and welcoming environment for all who attended.

The celebration created meaningful moments for children and families-many of whom will remember this experience for years to come.
The celebration would not have been possible without the leadership and support of Alexander Alcantara and the entire Rip Van Winkle Housing staff, whose continued dedication to residents plays a vital role in strengthening the community.

The organization remains committed to fostering holistic development and inspiring youth to lead with creativity, compassion, and confidence.
