DAG64 is a coalition of organizations and individuals who have been active in the struggle to save old PS 64 / former Charas.
DAG64’s goal is to conduct a feasibility study and develop a viable plan to restore this landmark to community use. DAG64 will hire a professional consultant to work with the community to develop the plan. Funds raised at this event will be used to hire the consultant.
