About Us

New Castle will be hosting it’s inaugural “Into the Light” Sunrise Walk on June 9th 2024, in partnership with BTH Break the Hold, the Town of New Castle, and New Castle United for Youth.

We are deeply grateful to our partners and sponsors for making this inagural event possible:

Break the Hold Foundation (BTH) is a Pleasantville based organization committed to “Break the Hold” on mental illness and to provide education about suicide intervention. It was founded in 2018 as an outpouring of grief and love following the loss of the founder’s son. This year will mark their 6th Annual “Into the Light” walk - an event that has grown year after year to include hundreds of participants.

New Castle United for Youth is a community coalition which receives funding through a federal Drug Free Communities grant. NCUFY brings together all sectors of the New Castle community to promote positive and healthy choices by our youth including through youth and adult education about alcohol and other drugs. NCUFY helps to sponsor positive events and activities which encourage and empower youth and offers resources for parents seeking information on and how to talk with their children about difficult topics.

The Town of New Castle includes the hamlets of Chappaqua and Millwood and serves both long-time residents and visitors with it’s beautiful parks (Gedney was voted best in Westchester in 2008) to historic landmarks (Horace Greeley's house awaits you!).

The Chappaqua Library is a center for community engagement and personal enrichment, providing users with a place where people and ideas meet to change lives. The goals of the Chappaqua Library include meeting the needs of our community by providing educational and cultural materials, providing a welcoming environment for human interaction, intellectual stimulation and cultural enrichment, and to work with institutions, organizations and individuals within the community in the pursuit of these goals.
