On Thursday, December 10th, hosted their Annual Benefit Gala P.A.’L.A.N.T.E. ¡Siempre! to celebrate its 7th year anniversary and pay special tribute to several committed individuals who have become legacies within the communities.

This year’s event was at La Marina NYC with a full cast of speakers and special guests including our very own Congressman Charles B. Rangel and NYS Housing Committee Chairman Keith L.T. Wright.

PA’LANTE is honored to present its 2015 awards to NYC Council Member Mark Levine, NYS Homes & Community Renewal Deputy Commissioners Woody Pascal and Richard White, community advocate Luisa Rodriguez and John Samuelsen, President of Transport Workers Union Local 100. Our honorees have made significant and exceptional contributions to the community that we serve.
