Hudson’s Helping Hands, a nonprofit organization, will hosts its first annual An Evening Under The Stars benefit from 6 to 9 PM on Friday, September 10, at The Crow’s Nest in Montauk.
Guests can expect to enjoy a fun-filled evening of cocktails, delicious small bites, live performances, entertainment, and an amazing in-person raffle. Since its inception in 2020, Hudsons Helping Hands for Autism has been dedicated to providing events designed for every child to enjoy safely and side-by-side.
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 Hand’s second annual inclusive holiday events. These events include Fall on the Farm at the Green Thumb, Sensory Santa at CMEE, and the Spring Shindig at Corwiths 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 experience 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.
