Gala 2026
MARCH 11, 2026 | Tribeca Rooftop
Our 2026 Gala on March 11 saw over 300 friends and supporters gather at the beautiful Tribeca Rooftop in Manhattan to support our life-affirming work and raising critical funds that enable us to help children, adults, and families rise above adversity and find positive paths forward. Congratulations to our honorees 9HUGS and the Goldburg Family Foundation. Special thanks to our generous sponsors and to the people supported who shared their stories, demonstrating our work in action – work we have been doing for 195 years! If you were unable to attend, please consider making a gift in honor of this milestone by donating here.
