41°-74° CLUB OF NEW YORK - PHILANTHROPY
Philanthropy is one of the main pillars of the 41°-74° Club that makes us stand out from other travel/hospitality industry organizations. The club hosts a Holiday Luncheon each December which raises thousands of dollars for worthy charities. Our Philanthropic Committee carefully researches local charities to ascertain the best recipients of these contributions. We also often support other causes as the need arises through the generosity of our members
4Bronx Project
​
This Club Year's Charity is 4Bronx Project. The 4Bronx Project is a community based platform of giving. For many years, The Bronx was the forgotten borough. We are doing our part to change that narrative. Donations will never leave the borough. We exist to ensure Bronxites have the resources and services they need to thrive.
​We are dedicated to supporting families experiencing homelessness in the Bronx. We currently assist over 600 families living in various shelters throughout the borough, many of whom are survivors of domestic violence. With a small box truck, we deliver essential resources directly to them, ensuring all our efforts and resources stay within the Bronx community.
We also organize special events throughout the year for the women and children, including Halloween parties, Christmas drives, veterans' luncheons, and a Mother's Day self-love day. We also run a fresh produce distribution program twice a week in the Northwest Bronx, helping to address food insecurity.
