Williamsburg and Greenpoint parks get over $160,000
Who doesn’t love a great party for a good cause?
Party for the Parks, a fundraising event organized by the nonprofit organization Open Space Alliance for North Brooklyn, took place last Thursday at the Wythe Hotel to raise money for the parks of North Brooklyn and to celebrate two outstanding community members.
As people sipped on drinks from the open bar, Mike Arnot, chairman of OSA, took to the stage. Arnot announced that Amazon Fashion had made a $100,000 donation to the organization and that OSA would be rebranded as the North Brooklyn Parks Alliance or NBPA. “We felt the need to reinvigorate the organization,” Arnot told the crowd.
