"Our goal for the event was to provide locals with giveaway
items that are essential for the holidays along with accessories
that'll keep families warm during a frigid Upstate New York winter.
As a family-run company, we are always thinking about existing
communities and how we can give back, especially during the
holidays," said Adam Shayanfekr.
"Share4Kids is a non-profit organization formed out of love,
passion, and dedication to helping children. We actively raise
money for various other non-profit charities ranging from
Sunrise Camp, Friendship Circle, and other
community services and after school programs for children with
disabilities. Share4Kids has long served Paterson, NJ, and Brooklyn, NY communities and we are thrilled
to be in Newburgh, NY. On behalf
of our board, we are looking forward to seeing how we can help in a
meaningful way and are always open to discuss new partnership ideas
or suggestions," said
Marie Rizk.
Mid-Hudson Times highlights Seraphim
Equities' community-first approach in the article, Restoration over
Renovation, by touching on the Christmas Giveaway Event and
highlighting the company's approach: "It's not all business for
us, we're excited to grow with the city," and, "We care
about the existing businesses in Newburgh plus the ones that are coming into
the city and are taking a hands-on approach. We're developing a
group that will bring local businesses and organizations together
that sources and allocates resources that will better the daily
lives of residents and businesses."
The event took on an apple theme to highlight Seraphim Equities'
nickname for the city, "The Little Apple," which is a play on
Manhattan's nickname, "The Big
Apple"; suggesting Newburgh as an
escape from congested Manhattan
and offering affordable rent prices in comparison to its
neighboring cities of Beacon,
Irvington, Chester, and Troy. Newburgh is a city that puts its community
first while opening its arms to creativity and opportunity,
acting as a canvas for new dreams to grow. As Newburgh's historian Mary McTameney puts it,
"Newburgh has always been a
gateway for a new life, then and now." The Hudson River's
majestic vibe runs through residents of this city and is part of
their DNA.
"With the pandemic putting a damper on events such as school
field trips and holiday exhibits, we wanted to help make sure that
Newburgh's children and their
families still had the opportunity to experience the holiday
spirit. The energy of the event was spectacular and brought a
special vibe to Broadway that only the holidays could bring.
Special thanks to Adam's Faireacre Farms, Richard Fracasse, Blacc Vanilla, and Newburgh
Enlarged City School District!" said Megan Prives, Marketing & Creative at
Seraphim Equities.
In a recent article in the NY Times, "Newburgh, N.Y.: Onetime Jewel of the Hudson
River", Journalist Julie Lasky said, "Now it [Newburgh] is catching the eye of investors who
have seen other battered Hudson River cities become playgrounds and
sanctuaries for New Yorkers. If it could happen in Hudson, in Kingston, and — just across the river — in
Beacon, why not here?" With a
rich history of architecture, art, and manufacturing paving the way
for what is promising to be a monumental revitalization movement,
this city displays itself as a historical canvas ready for
self-expression by the likes of local talented artists.

ABOUT NEWBURGH
Newburgh is a city within
Orange County that sits on the
west side of the Hudson River, across from Beacon, NY, and is the second-largest
historical district in New York
State (after Manhattan),
housing a variety of architectural styles ranging from Gothic to
Greek Revival. The city is also the home of Downing Park, the first
iteration of Manhattan's infamous
Central Park and was George Washington's headquarters during the
American Revolutionary war. The urban area located just 60 miles
from Manhattan was once a bustling
industrial hub with a major port but saw a decline throughout the
20th century. Today, Newburgh
re-emerges with a major revitalization movement fueled by an
existing and growing artist community, non-profit organizations,
and ambitious yet socially conscious developers, making
Newburgh a city worth
exploring.
