RYC Gala 2022

Join us for our 2022 RYC Gala. It's been 2 years since we've last gotten together at Hudson Yards and we are looking forward to seeing old friends and meeting new ones.

This year we're honored to have some special guests from the American Museum of Natural History (AMNH) including Frank T. Burbrink, Curator-in-Charge, Department of Herpetology. We have been fortunate to have Frank and his colleagues participate in our STEAM programs and look forward to having them at the gala.

Some of the Renaissance students will share their stories about how the organization impacted their lives. To get a true sense of the organization there is nothing better than hearing about how meaningful their experiences have been to their growth and well-being. 

And in true RYC Gala tradition, the MWAM band will again perform fan favorites and some of their new original music.

Also at the RYC Gala we'll have a book raffle and a silent auction which includes tickets to shows and sporting events, a Cape Cod retreat, jewelry, photographs, artifacts, original art by some Renaissance kids, and much more! You can bid online now.

COVID precautions: All guests must show proof of full vaccinations (two doses of Pfizer, Moderna vaccines or one dose of J&J vaccine) OR if you are not vaccinated we ask that you wear a mask at all times. 

 

Casual/business attire recommended.
