Last night, friends of the Y gathered at The Hudson to celebrate two remarkable leaders whose dedication has helped shape our organization and strengthen our community. We were honored to recognize Marcia Cohen for her five years of service as Board President and Michael Fermaglich for twenty-five years of meaningful leadership and impact.

The evening featured heartfelt tributes, live jazz overlooking the Hudson River, great food, and the opportunity to reflect on the relationships, vision, and commitment that make the Y such a special place.

To Marcia and Michael: thank you for your leadership, generosity, and unwavering belief in our mission. Your legacy will continue to inspire the work we do every day.

And thank you to everyone who joined us to celebrate this milestone evening. Here's to honoring the past, embracing the present, and building an even brighter future together.
