Event Details
ERASE Racism's Annual Benefit is a special event that highlights the organization's work and honors leaders who are making a difference in the fight for racial equity. The theme of the event is "Moving forward together." With this theme, we hope to send a clear reminder that together we can create a Long Island that is not divided by race
We are grateful to all who attended the benefit, to our sponsors who make our work possible, and to our honorees who continue to be a source of inspiration and support.
