A milestone worth celebrating

Join us for a special evening to reflect on Chhaya’s legacy, celebrate our impact, and build momentum for our next chapter. Halfway to 50! brings together community members, partners, and allies to honor 25 years of advancing housing and economic justice for South Asian and Indo-Caribbean communities across New York City.

As we look ahead to the next 25 years, we will celebrate the collective power of our communities, the people who have shaped Chhaya’s journey, and the vision that continues to move our work forward.

Gather for cocktails at 6:00 p.m., followed by dinner and our gala program at 7:00 p.m. at the Museum of the Moving Image in Astoria, Queens.
