Community Health Awards
The Community Health Awards is Callen-Lorde’s annual gala held in support of our mission. This year’s theme is Deeply Rooted, Holding Strong, and it is in that spirit that we will honor the leaders, trailblazers, and visionaries in LGBTQ+ health and wellness whose shoulders we stand on, while celebrating Callen-Lorde’s unwavering role in our communities. We are thrilled to bestow honors upon retired Callen-Lorde provider, Dr. Daniel Bowers; long-time community activist and champion for trans communities, LaLa B. Holston-Zannell; Emergency Medical Physician and ABC News Medical Contributor, Dr. Darien Sutton-Ramsey; and Global Head of LGBT+ Affairs at JP Morgan Chase, Brad Baumoel. Click here to learn more about each of our honorees.
This year’s event will be held at Cipriani Wall Street on Monday, November 14.
The cocktail reception will begin at 6pm with the dinner and program starting at 7pm.
Consistent with New York City and State recommendations, guests are encouraged to wear masks at the Community Health Awards. Additionally, Callen-Lorde recommends that all people be vaccinated and boosted against COVID-19. We encourage our supporters to stay home and participate via livestream if they are not feeling well.
While the RSVP deadline has passed, tickets and sponsorships are still available. We will follow up shortly and ask that you please have your guest names and their contact information readily available.
