The American Red Cross Heroes Gala recognizes civic leaders and heroic individuals who embody our humanitarian mission. Proceeds from the evening will help provide relief to local families affected by disasters like hurricanes and home fires, equip communities with lifesaving skills like CPR and first aid training and offer critical support to U.S. service members and veterans across Greater New York.

The American Red Cross in Greater New York services the more than 12 million people who call New York City, Long Island, Westchester and Rockland counties, Greenwich, Conn., and the U.S. Military Academy at West Point home.


We are officially sold out!  Ticket sales have now closed.  For more information, email Libby Richardson.
