Greyston celebrated the success of its programs providing individuals with jobs and the tools to lead self-sustaining lives at its 2015 annual benefit on May 20th at X20 in downtown Yonkers.  Over 300 people attended the event and $380,000 was raised in support of Greyston’s holistic approach to alleviate poverty.

Special honorees this year were Edward Falkenberg, Greyston Board Member, and Erika Karp, Founder and CEO of Cornerstone Capital Group. Both honorees have demonstrated a life-long commitment in support of sustainable business and social enterprise.  Like Greyston, Ed and Erika are committed to providing opportunities for individuals and families as they move forward on their paths to self-sufficiency.

Ed and Erika were among a host of inspiring activists, business and philanthropic leaders who attended the gala. State Senator Andrea Stewart Cousins, Assembly Woman Shelley Mayer, Yonkers Mayor Mike Spano and Westchester County District Attorney Janet DiFiore joined in celebrating the success of the country’s leading social enterprise.
