Garces, Grabler & LeBrocq is proud to host Project Presents, a heartfelt community outreach initiative dedicated to supporting children in need during the holiday season. This year, our team had the incredible opportunity to provide Christmas joy to ten deserving children, offering a magical experience filled with celebration, compassion, and unforgettable memories. In partnership with the YMCA, this special holiday event was created to ensure these children not only received the Christmas gifts they’d been hoping for, but also felt celebrated, valued, and supported.
This year’s Project Presents celebration was held at the beautiful St. John the Baptist Carpatho-Russian Orthodox Church, graciously hosted by Father Mike. Families were welcomed to an afternoon of food, activities, and festive fun before the gift distribution began. The atmosphere was filled with excitement and joy as the children enjoyed a truly meaningful Christmas experience surrounded by community, kindness, and support.
Adding to the magic of the day, guests were surprised by an incredible lineup of special visitors, including NY Giants Legend & Super Bowl XLVI Champion Hakeem Nicks, UFC Fighter Eric “Nighttime” Nolan, the beloved Rutgers Mascot Sir Henry, and of course—Santa Claus himself. Their presence brought laughter, inspiration, and priceless moments the children will never forget.
We extend our sincere gratitude to Jennifer Roche (Director of Center Operations, YMCA), Father Mike, and our dedicated Marketing Team for helping bring this impactful event to life. We are honored to support families in our community and look forward to continuing the Project Presents tradition of spreading hope, warmth, and holiday cheer.
