Hudson’s Helping Hands will presents its second annual An Evening Under The Stars benefit from 6 to 9 PM on Friday, September 9, at The Crow’s Nest in Montauk. Guests will enjoy a fun-filled evening of cocktails, a raw bar, small bites, live performances, entertainment, and an in-person raffle.
Since its inception in 2020, Hudson’s Helping Hands for Autism has been dedicated to providing events designed for every child to enjoy.
Founded by Kristen and Augie Teodoro, a mother and father who felt there was a need for more support and inclusion on the East End, their mission has quickly grown into a community effort to provide and foster acceptance and inclusion for children in the local area.
All money raised during this event will go toward Hudson’s Helping Hands’ third year of inclusive holiday events, workshops, and programs. These events include Fall on the Farm at the Green Thumb, Sensory Santa at CMEE, and the Spring Shindig at Corwith Farmstand.
According to the organization, it is estimated that one in every 54 children are now diagnosed as being on the Autism Spectrum and that one in every six children experiences a form of developmental delay. It has also been found that inclusion is a vital instrument to foster a culture of respect, acceptance, and belonging amongst all children.
Hudson’s Helping Hands is devoted to providing events and learning experiences designed for both typical children and those with special needs to partake in and enjoy side-by-side.
