Hi, everyone!

We are overwhelmed with gratitude for your support in making this year's Winter Wonderland Holiday Gala a success! Your contributions and presence are not just moments from the evening but stepping stones toward an even greater impact in the coming year.

We’d also like to celebrate the achievements of our Microbusiness Award winners:

🏆 Legacy Business Award: Winkelmann Drug
Serving Dutchtown since 1913, Winkelmann Drug continues to thrive under the leadership of Dmitri Postnov, Pharm.D., and Jason Wang, Pharm.D. With over a century of dedication, they honor their rich history while embracing a future of growth and innovation.

🌟 Immigrant Entrepreneur Award: Ghodar Soufi
Ghodar Soufi’s journey from Iraqi Kurdistan to Dutchtown speaks volumes about resilience and determination. Through A & Q Custom Wheels & Tires, he provides essential automotive services and creates opportunities for others. As a special highlight of the evening, Ghodar moved the audience with a beautiful live saz performance—a moment we won’t forget!

Together, we are building something incredible, and we can’t wait to share more from the evening, including the tangible impact of your support.

Stay connected—updates are coming soon! Thank you for being part of this journey.
