VIDEO: Brooklyn Bridge Park Conservancy raises over $1 million at annual ball
Brooklyn Bridge Park Conservancy hosted its sixth annual Brooklyn Black Tie Ball on Pier 2 of the park Thursday night, raising $1.27 million and honoring two people who have contributed to the waterfront greenery.
Proceeds from the ball directly supported the conservancy’s over 500 free and low-cost activities.
“Please accept our gratitude for helping us bring environmental education, artistic cultural programs and active recreation to more than 140,000 kids and families throughout New York City,” Mark Baker, the conservancy board’s chairman, told the crowd.
