Stronger Together: The 2021 Goddard Riverside Book Fair Gala
We were thrilled to be back in person this year for Goddard Riverside’s 2021 Gala with a more intimate event on Monday, October 18th. This year’s Gala took place at Monarch Rooftop, a spacious lounge bar at 71 West 35th Street that has indoor space and an outdoor terrace with stunning views of the Empire State Building and Midtown Manhattan. Proof of vaccination was required to attend.
Thank you to all who joined us to celebrate the work of Goddard Riverside and for the announcement of our fifth annual Goddard Riverside Stephan Russo Book Prize for Social Justice and second annual Goddard Riverside CBC Youth Book Prize for Social Justice winners.
