Hudson Gateway REALTOR® Foundation presents donation to Drug Crisis in Our Backyard

White Plains, NY The Hudson Gateway REALTOR® Foundation, the charitable arm of the Hudson Gateway Association of REALTORS®, recently presented a check for $2,500 to Drug Crisis in Our Backyard, based in Somers, but serving the Hudson Valley.

Drug Crisis in Our Backyard was founded in 2012 by Susan and Steve Salomone, and Carol and Lou Christiansen after the loss of their sons to a battle against heroin. The organization promotes awareness about drug use, assists addicted and at-risk individuals and their families, and implements measures, including legislation that holds accountable organizations and medical institutions that perpetuate drug use through over-prescription of opiates and other drugs. It serves the region with support groups and various events.

“A huge thank you to the Hudson Gateway REALTOR® Foundation for their generous grant. We appreciate your commitment to help us continue our mission of helping families struggling with substance misuse,” said Susan Salomone.
