“We are thrilled to honor these remarkable individuals and organizations at our Amplify 2023 Gala. Each of them has made an indelible impact on our community and embodies the spirit of compassion, resilience, and dedication that Houses on the Moon stands for. Rashad V. Chambers, with his Tony award-winning brilliance and invaluable contributions to our board, has been an unwavering pillar of support for our mission. Dr. Kate Cerulli’s groundbreaking work in mental health and her commitment to the arts have brought immense healing and awareness to countless lives. And Homies Unidos, with their tireless efforts to promote peace and uplift marginalized voices, has been a beacon of hope in our society. Together, they exemplify the power of storytelling and its potential to bridge divides, inspire change, and foster a more empathetic world. We are deeply grateful for their partnership and are honored to recognize their extraordinary achievements.”
