Bridges to Community

On October 15, guests filled the Davenport Mansion in New Rochelle for our 2026 Leadership Dinner Gala.

To all of this year’s attendees: thank you for being part of a celebration where we don’t just talk about community, we build it. Together.

Every toast, every bid, every moment you gave this night became a brick in someone’s future. Families in La Guama and Gajo Largo now have what they once only dreamed of, because people like you chose to show up.

Together, you raised $56,000

Our honorees

The Lahn Family

Since their first trip in 2014, the Lahns have joined 30 trips and helped build 10 homes.

Miranda Jennings

She joined Bridges at 16, and nearly 30 years later, she’s still here. Our 2026 Bridge Builder Award recipient.

And to those who couldn’t be there

We felt you. Every gift, every share, every kind word carried this night. You were part of it, and you are part of every home and bathroom we build.

To our auction donors. To our volunteers. To the communities of La Guama and Gajo Largo, who teach us every day what building together really means.
