There was a presentation ceremony recently at the headquarters of Make-A-Wish Hudson Valley, a former carriage house at 832 S. Broadway in Tarrytown that has been converted into The Wish House. The Hudson Gateway Realtor Foundation, a division of the Hudson Gateway Association of Realtors, presented Make-A-Wish with a check in the amount of $28,000 representing the proceeds of its Black & White Masquerade Ball held at the Falkirk Estate and Country Club in Central Valley.

During the past 20 years, HGAR has raised more than $315,000 for the group. “This year”™s event marked a milestone of supporting this very special organization,” said Richard Haggerty, HGAR”™s CEO. “We are delighted to have helped make a huge difference in the lives of so many children and families who live in this region.”
