Many Thanks to LINC’s 2025 Spring Gala Supporters!

Gotham Hall was filled with good cheer and generosity last night at our Spring Gala! A big thanks to everyone who made the evening a huge success.

Champion for Children Award winner Susie Jaramillo of Encantos talked about the importance of creating spaces for literacy in community. Featured speaker Yaretzi Canete shared how her early years in LINC programs have helped shape her academic success. And the room rose to its feet in an ovation not once, but twice, when Debora Mulrain, LINC’s Chief Community Officer, was presented with the Mimi Levin Lieber Legacy Award for nearly three decades of service to LINC communities.

A special thanks goes out to our Emcee, PIX 11 Anchor Dan Mannarino, and to the Dance Project of Washington Heights for their opening performance. 

Every child deserves the opportunity to experience the power and joy of reading from day one. Thank you to all who are making our mission to ensure that they do possible.
