Y-COP's 10th Annual Benefit & Recognition Gala

We want to take the opportunity to thank our friends, partners, and supporters for making Y-COP’s 10th Annual Benefit & Recognition Gala a night to remember!

On September 18, 2025, we gathered at the beautiful Glen Island Harbour Club in New Rochelle for an evening filled with elegance, joy, and purpose. Guests enjoyed entertainment, an open bar, dinner, and dancing, all leading up to an inspiring awards presentation celebrating outstanding community leaders and supporters.

This unforgettable evening was made possible by the generosity of our sponsors, dedication of our 2025 Gala Committee and Board of Directors, and by the generosity of our community partners who help Y-COP remain a leading childcare and youth development organization in Westchester County.

Congratulations to our 2025 Honorees!
