Urban Upbound’s annual Gala serves as a celebration of the remarkable individuals and organizations that champion our mission and contribute to our efforts to tackle poverty and change lives. Throughout the years, we’ve been honored to host esteemed guests and speakers such as Mayor Eric Adams, civil rights icon John Lewis, and former NYCHA Chairperson Shola Olatoye. Our lineup of entertainers and guest appearances has included renowned artists like Mobb Deep, Dougie Fresh, NBA Professional Metta World Peace, and DJ Biz Markie.

This year we celebrate our 21st Annual Gala as we anticipate another unforgettable evening celebrating our honorees and enjoying live entertainment featuring high profile artist (to be announced), a live DJ, cocktail hour, dinner, open bar and an enticing silent auction curated to enhance your Gala experience.

We look forward to seeing you there! Please contact us if you have any questions.
