Growing Oakdale
We are pleased to announce our inaugural gala, Growing Oakdale on Saturday, April 25, 2026, in partnership with our Presenting Sponsor, Pocketbook Hudson Hotel and Baths, Hudson’s most exciting new venue.
Join us for an evening honoring the park's rich history and transformative future we're building together. The evening will feature cocktails, a seated dinner, and special tributes to those who have shaped this lakeside gathering place and those who will carry it forward.
Your sponsorship ensures Hudson's youth have access to safe, enriching spaces and programs that build confidence, skills, and connection. We invite you to partner with Friends of Hudson Youth in making Growing Oakdale a celebration of youth development and environmental stewardship.
Be a catalyst for change in support of some of Hudson's most precious resources—a spring-fed lake, an urban forest, and the young people who thrive there.
The deadline to be included on the printed invitation as a gala sponsor or honorary committee member is Monday, February 23, 2026. Commitments received after this date will still be included on all other materials. A limited number of general admission tickets will be available beginning Friday, March 6, 2026.
