Join us for a spectacular evening under the stars at the beautiful Tribeca Rooftop to celebrate resilience, remembrance, and rising together. With panoramic views of the Manhattan skyline as our backdrop, the evening will feature heartfelt stories, exceptional gourmet food and drink, and exciting opportunities to give.

Together, we’ll lift up children with life-threatening illnesses and their families — helping them defy the gravity of diagnosis, treatment, and uncertainty with strength, dignity, and support.

Your support helps families defy the emotional gravity of illness, grief, and uncertainty by lifting them with care, love, and presence.

This year, we are proud to honor Friends of Karen Board Member, Michael Roberts and his wife Michelle; valued supporter, Jordan Edwards of Mixology; and longtime volunteer Charles Plaveczky of KPMG.  Their dedication and advocacy have helped expand our reach and deepen our impact.

Whether you’re a longtime supporter or attending your first Friends of Karen event, this gala promises to be unforgettable.
