The Hook Mountain Challenge, a benefit Kayak Race for the Nyack Homeless Project, is getting ready to launch. Kayak races and donors are needed. The fundraising flotilla will hug the Hudson River shore line on Sept. 28, 2014.
For the last 15 years the Nyack Homeless Project Ltd. (NHP), a non-profit 501(c)(3) non-sectarian, grassroots volunteer group has encouraged adults and teens in our community to make a difference by aiding those in need during the cold days of winter.
