You Gotta Believe Annual NYC Community Picnics Sparks Joy and Connection!

New York, NY, August 18, 2024 – This past Saturday, August 17th, You Gotta Believe hosted its Annual NYC Community Picnic at Van Cortlandt Park, bringing together our community for a day filled with joy, laughter, and meaningful connections.

The event was packed with classic picnic activities, including a thrilling parkour demonstration led by our very own YGB advocate, Gmo! Families and kids of all ages joined in the fun, making the day truly unforgettable.

We’re incredibly grateful to everyone who came out to support the picnic and to those who worked tirelessly to make this event a success. The games, the food, and the flawless organization all came together to create a memorable day for all.

Rachel Hood, YGB’s Senior Director of Programs, , shared “Every YGB event is fun, but the summer picnic is an institution. Families from all over NYC gather in the Bronx’s Van Cortlandt Park in the final days of summer to play games and eat food together. Parents swap phone numbers, kids run around like crazy and everyone plans to meet up again soon.

Thank you to everyone who made this day so special. We look forward to many more moments of connection and celebration with our YGB family!“
