For her history of extraordinary services to Roosevelt Island, the Main Street Theatre & Dance Alliance (MSTDA) will honor Dr. Katherine Teets Grimm in a fundraiser and awards ceremony. The event takes place July 22nd at The Sanctuary, 851 Main Street.

“We are so excited to finally see this event happen after having to cancel last spring due to COVID. Dr. Grimm is a valuable part of the MSTDA and Roosevelt Island community. Her support, care and contributions deserve recognition. She is truly a STAR! We hope you will all join us in celebrating her.” (Kristi Towey, MSTDA Executive Director)
