Every year, RHEF hosts a fabulous gala to fundraiser for and honor our Red Hook schools. It is an evening full of delicious food, great music, amazing people, and fun times on the dance floor. The 2026 gala was held at a new venue — Lasting Joy Brewery, a local favorite. With its gorgeous architecture and sprawling farm fields, Lasting Joy was the perfect place to celebrate with our community of generous donors, board members, educators, and Red Hook families. Despite a dramatic summer rainstorm just before the event, the evening absolutely lived up to its theme: Spread Joy. To put it simply: everyone had a blast.
RHEF would like to extend a huge thank you to our sponsors for their generous donations. Because of you, we can continue to make Red Hook schools even more dynamic learning environments for the kids in our community.
Thank you to all our generous sponsors…
