Shout out and thanks to Harry Campbell Jr. for coming to speak to our group last month! Mr Campbell was one of the original founding members of Project Earthquake 2006… Black Diamonds is Earthquake 2.0! The conversation and message pulled each one of the students in to see that they are connected to each other in a profound way. Great presentation Harry! We are our brothers keeper! Asé!!!

We are grateful to the Hudson Valley Gateway Chamber of Commerce Foundation for awarding BDAS the Larry Danoia Professional Development Grant.

To receive an award that carries the name of Larry Danoia is humbling. His legacy of service and generosity continues to inspire our community, and we are proud to be connected to that legacy through this grant.

Thank you to the Chamber and everyone involved for believing in our work and investing in the future of our youth.

We are truly grateful.

Take action - Urge your legislators to help strengthen New York’s Nonprofits

New York nonprofits provide vital services, at the direction of the state: early childhood education, mental health counseling, homeless housing, substance use treatment, legal services and cultural programming, to name just a few.

Chronic contracting delays, inefficiencies and inconsistencies across agencies, burdensome processes, and reimbursements regularly delayed by six months or more totaling hundreds of millions of dollars are pushing New York’s nonprofits to the breaking point
