Local nonprofit shares touching tribute to Elise Finch

NEW YORK - We have a touching update we'd like to share with you.

On Tuesday, CBS New York's Cindy Hsu chatted with the Westchester nonprofit G.O.O.D. for Girls, Inc. The organization mentors young girls into future leaders.

The idea to profile them came from our beloved Elise Finch.
