This past holiday season, Broadway Stages and the 94th Precinct Community Council celebrated Christmas with children and families from North Brooklyn at the Broadway Stages Meserole Avenue soundstage. The successful holiday event was complete with a Christmas-themed party, a complimentary buffet, and a personal visit from Santa Claus.

Children were eager to open the beautifully wrapped gifts donated by Broadway Stages President Gina Argento and founder Tony Argento. Tony, on behalf of Broadway Stages, said, "This is one positive thing for the community." As a mother of three sons, Gina could not have been more excited to provide toys for Brooklyn children and a day of fun for families to experience together. Gina, Tony, and the Broadway Stages family are always excited to spread the holiday cheer and give back to Brooklyn. Thank you to the 94th Precinct Community Council for giving us this opportunity to bring cheer to Brooklyn children and families.

Congresswoman Carolyn B. Maloney publicly recognized Gina Argento's commitment to giving back to the Greenpoint community. Gina is a leader in New York City's sustainable movement.

Gina has raised awareness of environmental consciousness by sponsoring green education programs including Green Science Week at PS 110 and the STEM lab at Kingsborough Community College. These programs educate students with green initiatives and demonstrate how they can contribute to building a greener city.

Gina's support for the community also extends to communal development programs for youths and families. She is involved with the YMCA and the Boys Scouts of America, which promote youth development.
