This holiday season, ADAPT Community Network held its second annual Holiday Cheer Celebration, bringing together staff, volunteers, and friends of ADAPT who have been dedicated to making a difference in the lives of the people we support.

The Holiday Cheer Celebration, benefitting ADAPT’s School-Age programs, was held on December 9, 2025, at Slate NY in New York City. This year, ADAPT welcomed over 200 attendees and thanks to our host, guests, and generous sponsors and donors, we raised a total of over $31,000 to support the 1,200+ children in our School-Age Programs.

Guests enjoyed a special night of festivities and games hosted by Kori Chambers, multi‐Emmy‐winning PIX11 News Anchor at 6:00 p.m. and 10:00 p.m. and a longtime ADAPT celebrity ambassador, marking Kori’s fourth time hosting the event.

“We thank Kori Chambers and all of this year’s sponsors for their incredible support of our children and families in need,” says Linda B. Laul, CEO of ADAPT Community Network. “They truly exemplify the spirit and generosity of New Yorkers.”

On behalf of our team at ADAPT Community Network, we would like to thank everyone who was involved in the Holiday Cheer Celebration and who continues to support our mission. A special thank you goes to our sponsors, organizers, and attendees for making this event a great success.
