CLOTH's 71st ANNUAL GALA - 2023
CLOTH's Anniversary Gala returned to Columbia University Memorial Low Library on October 25, 2023, where the community raised close to $250,000 to support the renaissance, revival, and restoration of upper Manhattan. The event honored Vichet Chum, Dr. Nicole R. Fleetwood, Karim Hutson, Alexis McSween and Elena Romero for their dedication to our mission of providing the knowledge, resources, and opportunities our residents need to empower themselves and their community. The evening truly highlighted the impact our supporters can have on the 100,000 people CLOTH serves each year.
