Thank You For Making Our Gala
A Great Success!
From all of us here at Exponents, thank you for making our annual gala a rousing success. Through your generous support, we achieved our goal. The revenue raised from the gala represents so much more than just funds: it affords us opportunities to educate and train individuals interested in becoming behavioral health clinicians; it supports our programs that provide harm reduction education and substance use disorder treatment and it provides critical resources that allows us to make investments in organizational growth and strategic planning. In short, it allows us to inhabit our mission and live our values.
Thank you for your support of and commitment to our efforts to improve the health and well-being of our fellow New Yorkers.
