The whole community of upper Manhattan is saddened by the tragic explosion that occurred in East Harlem earlier this month. Two buildings collapsed on East 116st and Park Ave. due to a natural gas leak explosion, leaving many families homeless. On March 29th, 2014 there will be a charity drive to help the victims of the explosion. To see more details on how you can help, click below.

As a final push for El Museo’s successful donation drive, the event will feature an amazing raffle, and special invited guests. Each donation (bag or check/money order) will receive a raffle ticket for a drawing of prizes, including custom jewelry, restaurant vouchers, gift certificates, and much more! Winners will be announced at 3:30pm. There will be a special appearance by YMCMB’s Cory Gunz, and local community leaders. Light refreshments will be served.
