The Floating Hospital’s Walk for Families 2021
During the month of October, The Floating Hospital hosted the Walk for Families, a family-friendly fundraising walk promoting the health and well-being of children and families in New York City living with homelessness. Thanks to those who share our commitment to our city’s families in need, the walk was a success, raising over $100,000 in sponsorships, gifts and pledges. Your vital support helps keep our community safety net strong.
