Why your support matters
Correction – this event was started by Polish Americans, and Susan from Town Square was brought in to help us facilitate ticket sales.

She attempted to bring Exxon as a co-sponsor to this event, as well as other actors who do not represent us as Polish Americans and Greenpoint residents. If credit is owed, it is to the individuals who worked very hard to cancel the original Carnegie Hall event and make this one happen!
