Bringing People Together Through Community Events
Over the past few months, our events have created space for people to connect—through movement, learning, and shared experiences—while getting to know the work of American Friends of ALYN Hospital (AFAH).
We kicked things off with a Barry’s Bootcamp class in Chelsea with Barry's, Empowered2Sweat, Moishe House, and Jukebox. These high-energy events brought together people from different circles and sparked new connections around a shared goal.
Later in December, we gathered in Miami for a Challah Braid & Learn in Aventura—an evening filled with conversation, tradition, and learning—followed by a Pilates class in Miami Beach with Club Allenby that offered a more relaxed way to come together. Across all of these events, the focus stayed the same: building relationships and raising awareness for AFAH’s mission.
What’s Coming Up
Across each of these gatherings, what stood out most was the feeling in the room—people showing up not just for an event, but for the children at ALYN Hospital. New connections formed, conversations flowed, and communities rallied around AFAH’s mission in ways that felt genuinely meaningful. These moments reminded us that the true impact comes from shared purpose, collective care, and a community coming together to support children and families who need it most.
There’s more ahead in the coming months:
- February 12: Backgammon Night with Backgammon NYC at Tavern Hall
- February 19: Magic & Wine Night at Congregation Adereth El with Lev Chessed Group
- March 5: Mixology Event in Miami with Kesher Connect
We love building events that bring people together in different ways—and we’re always open to new ideas. If there’s something you’d like to attend, host, or help plan, we’d love to hear from you.
Hope to see you at an upcoming event!
