On November 10th, 2022, the holidays came early for over 200 youth and families from Garden of Dreams partner, Department of Homeless Services.
These families arrived at TAO Downtown for the ultimate night out, enjoying a 360 photobooth, facepainting, family games, and of course, delicious hot meals served up by current Knicks players, alumni, and team staff!
But that’s not all – special guest Jack Ryan was on hand to pull off some basketball-themed tricks and entertainment, and MSG’s own Monica McNutt was the evening’s emcee. Towards the end of the meal, she introduced special musical guest Miles, a Garden of Dreams Talent Show alumni who recently signed a record deal with Ne-Yo and released his first single. Miles played three songs to a smiling (and dancing!) audience.
After the fun family feast, guests continued to enjoy games, balloons, and entertainment before heading out the door with premium Knicks gift bags. What a way to kick off the holiday season!
