On Cloud Nine with Paige’s Angels
Over 550 guests celebrated the mission of Horizons for Youth on February 4th at the River East Art Center. Through the generosity of our donors we had a record-breaking event, raising over $215,000. Because of this tremendous support, we can continue expanding our program to serve a greater number of students.
