We are thrilled to invite you to join us in celebrating Bridge Street Development Corporation’s 30 years of service to Bedford-Stuyvesant and Central Brooklyn at our 30th Anniversary Fundraising Gala!
This special evening, held at Industry City, will honor the pioneering individuals and organizations whose vision and support laid the foundation for our work.
Together, we’ll reflect on Bridge Street’s legacy and celebrate the lasting impact we have made — and continue to make — in the lives of thousands across our community.
Each year, Bridge Street proudly serves more than 5,000 youth, families, older adults, and small business owners through life-changing programs spanning:
- Youth Civic and Workforce Development
- Affordable Housing and Real Estate Development
- Older Adult Services
- Community Engagement
- Economic Development
- Financial Literacy and Empowerment
Proceeds from the Gala will directly support our mission to create opportunities, empower residents, and build a stronger, more equitable future for Central Brooklyn.
We invite you to celebrate with us by purchasing tickets, becoming a sponsor, and/or participating in our Commemorative Journal.
Together, we can ensure that Bridge Street’s next 30 years are even more transformative. We look forward to celebrating with you!
