Mayor Eric Adams pleaded with some of the Big Apple’s richest residents Friday to pick up the slack for New York City agencies as they weather sharp cuts due to ballooning migrant costs.
“This is a moment where it’s an all hands on deck moment,” Hizzoner said to a packed room at the swanky Harvard Club during a Police Athletic League luncheon Friday afternoon.
“The way it goes, New York goes America goes, but I’m going to need you more than ever to support many of these organizations like PAL, Robin Hood Foundation, and others,” the mayor told the crowd, which included Tony Danza, John Catsimatidis and Mitchell Modell, the former CEO of the sporting goods chain.
“A moment where our philanthropic interests must align with some of the gaps and services that we are seeing today,” the mayor continued.
