Recap: The 2023 Spring Benefit

We are thrilled to announce that we raised over $118,000 to continue to serve our Brooklyn community as well as care for the historic Hunterfly Houses at this year’s benefit on Thursday, April . It was a beautiful night with inspiring performances by Cecily, Cheryl Warfield, Asase Yaa, a set from DJ Reborn, and live art by KUKI GO. We could think of no better way to acknowledge our honorees, Tim Simons, Leslie Robinson, Eric Deutsch, and Ralph McDaniels than with such a spirited display of community and unity. 

At Weeksville, we recognize that our impact is only as strong as the community that supports it. Thank you for fueling our efforts to honor our over 50 year history of preserving, interpreting, and celebrating the radical vision of community shown to us by historic Weeksville. If you did not have the opportunity, and would like to support our work, it is never too late to donate.
