Events   very year, thousands of New Yorkers come out to Goddard Riverside events to have a great time and support our work. If you are one of them, thank you! If not, we hope you will soon join in the fun! Hard-working volunteers and in-kind contributions help reduce our event costs and increase the money flowing directly into our programs for children, older adults, and homeless people. Our annual fundraisers include the New York Book Fair, with its Meet-the-Author Dinners, Book Bash and book sale, the Junior Committee cocktail party, gala Musical Evenings, and the Goddard Gaieties for 5th to 8th graders from private schools.
