Memories From Gala 2024
The CRY New York Gala was held on April 19 at The Taj Pierre Hotel and was attended by 120 guests. Special guests included Bollywood Actor Arjun Rampal who endorsed CRY’s work and led the pledge session. Our host for the evening was American actor Utkarsh Ambudkar who treated the guests to improv rap and beatboxing performances. Project Partner Dr. Rolee Singh spoke about her Project SSRF’s impact in Varanasi and CRY America President, Shefali Sunderlal shared the organization’s 20 year impact. A big thank you to our CRY NY/NJ Gala Committee, and all our generous donors, sponsors, volunteers, media & staff for this awesome event & making children’s dreams come true! Thank You.
