Manhattan, NY NYRE & Construction Services -- an official group affiliated with Tunnel To Towers -- is hosting its 4th annual cocktail event on Thursday, October 17 from 6-9 PM at Redeye Grill, 890 Seventh Ave., between 56th and 57th St's. Tunnel To Towers is a 501(c)3 non-profit organization honoring America’s heroes by providing monetary and educational resources for first responders, veterans, and their families, including Smart Homes, Mortgage Free Homes, and Homeless Veteran Villages.

The 2024 honoree is Patrick Dolan, RPA, senior property manager at The Durst Organization, head of operations at One World Trade Center, and the current chair of BOMA New York.

The core team includes professionals from the real estate and construction industries, as well as prominent property owners, real estate developers, brokers, architects, engineers, marketing, and others in the field.

“Since its inception, Tunnel To Towers has raised over $500 million in support of our nation’s greatest heroes and their families, and we are proud to be part of this admirable organization,” said Pirot. “This community of real estate professionals in the New York Metro is committed to using its considerable resources to raise always-needed funds for those who have diligently served our country and city to keep us safe.”

Zeccardi said, “Tunnel To Towers has made a difference for hundreds, if not thousands of active first responders, veterans, and their families for more than two decades. We are pleased to be an official resource for the organization and welcome this year’s honoree and long-time friend, Patrick Dolan, to the cause!”
