At our 2024 Annual Benefit, NY4P brought together park champions to celebrate the accomplishments of three incredible honorees, Jessica Tisch, Commissioner at DSNY, Claire Weisz, Principal at WXY and Brookfield Properties.

In her rousing opening remarks, emcee Katie Honan reflected on New Yorkers for Parks' longstanding advocacy on behalf of a better parks system and the important work that lies ahead. Keynote speaker Eric Klinenberg, author and Director of the Institute for Public Knowledge at NYU, closed out the evening with an exploration of parks as social infrastructure, compelling guests to recognize and carry on the legacy of the parks advocates who came before in service of a more equitable city. 

We want to extend our deepest gratitude to everyone who has supported us, whether through attending, volunteering, or contributing in any way. Your commitment to our mission is what drives us forward and makes events like this possible.

We’re especially grateful to Javits Center, Brookfield Properties, Citi, Bloomberg Philanthropies, Thomas L. Kempner Foundation, The Sidney J. Weinberg Foundation, Metropolitan Park, JCDecaux, and Central Park Conservancy for their critical support.
