On Friday, October 24, 2025, New York Restoration Project celebrated their 30th anniversary at Hulaween: New York, New York, a Helluva Town!
Known for its spectacular performances, dazzling costumes, and unfettered revelry, the annual Hulaween gala raises critical funds to make the life-changing benefits of nature accessible for all New Yorkers.
This year’s celebration was especially meaningful as the evening honored NYRP founder Bette Midler with a special award for her inspired leadership and unwavering commitment to NYRP’s mission.
The event also recognized Joan Kors Green Champion honoree, Emmy Award-winning TV host, producer,
and author Andy Cohen. STUDIOS Architecture also received the Lifetime Achievement Award for Costume Design celebrating years of ensemble excellence.
