NAC Kids Can Gala Benefit
Our NAC Kids Can Gala raises millions of dollars for New York City’s most vulnerable children. Every year, prominent business, philanthropic and community leaders join us to raise funds and awareness on one star-studded night to support children with severe disabilities and chronic illnesses. We are excited to announce that our 40th Anniversary Gala will take place on October 19, 2022, where we will be honoring Aryeh Bourkoff of LionTree.
Children’s Holiday Party
Our community steps up every year to make the holiday brighter for over 1,000 NAC children. Either at our Annual Holiday Party for our children and families or through our Holiday Gift Drive, our donors and corporate partners make the season special for each and every NAC child. Partner with us by starting a company Holiday Drive or helping to sponsor the cost of our Holiday event!
Women for Women Luncheon
NAC’s Women for Women Luncheon inspires a network of women helping women, bringing together a hundreds-strong and growing group of accomplished women to amplify issues, raise funds and create a stronger community of support, Previous events have featured a roster of literary and media stars, from Gayle King to Anna Quindlen, and most recently Pulitzer Prize winning author Andrea Elliott.
NAC Kids Olympics
Every June, our NAC Kids Olympics welcomes over 800 children and their families for a packed day of activities where children can make memories that don’t involve hospitals or doctor visits. For many NAC children it’s not possible or safe to pick up a sport or even play in the park. But with the support of over 200 generous donors and many more enthusiastic volunteers, we can ensure a full day of safe, healthy fun for children of all abilities to feel like champions. Children tackle physical and mental obstacles, meet new challenges, build self-esteem and just get to be kids for the day. Partner with us to help sponsor this event!Â
Junior Board’s #NightForNAC
Every spring, our Junior Board hosts an annual Night for NAC cocktail party fundraiser in New York City to raise support for the annual NAC Kids Can Olympics event. 500 young professionals in their 20’s and 30’s attend the event, complete with specialty cocktails, giveaways and big-ticket raffle prizes provided by generous local businesses and corporate sponsors. The event raises $50,000+ each year, all directly benefiting NAC children.
Parent Appreciation Luncheon
Every May NAC recognizes its birth, foster, and adoptive parents at the NAC Parent Luncheons. Parents are honored for their commitment, perseverance and courageous spirits in parenting children with severe and chronic medical conditions. Parents speak about their experiences and share with the group how their lives have improved. At the Luncheons, parents are given Honorary Parenting Certificates, treated to a special lunch, and receive a fashionable gift. Partner with us to sponsor our Parent Luncheon.
