Take a Leadership Role in One of NYC’s Premiere Green Spaces
The Hudson River Park Friends Development Committee is a group of influential and energetic community members whose work is critical to the success of HRPK Friends’ fundraising strategy. This committee helps generate new fundraising concepts and oversees fundraising efforts, including helping with our events, campaigns, and initiatives. It is made up of both Board Members and Non-Board Members who are also a key part of connecting HRPK Friends with new audiences.
Development Committee members are important partners in helping sustain Hudson River Park on a daily basis, providing or securing significant funding through unrestricted gifts of $10,000 or more. This growing and evolving committee also spearheads the Spring Drop Top BBQ at Classic Car Club Manhattan (Pier 76 in Hudson River Park), an annual event that raises funds to help keep the Park beautiful, safe, green, clean and growing.
