Our 42nd Avenue recently launched a Sustain 42nd Ave fundraising campaign. Here’s why: To continue our good work, we need to establish firm financial footing on our own. Investments to the “ Sustain Campaign” made by residents, property owners and business owners are critical to our ability to reach our goal.
 
To date, several generous people/organizations have made this charitable contribution to Our 42ndAvenue – an investment that will provide a meaningful return. THANK YOU from Our 42nd Avenue and everyone who lives, works and plays here!
THANK YOU to all of Our 42nd Avenue Supporters as of April 24th! 
Every dollar is greatly appreciated and put to good use!
