A Look Back…

Under the banner Empowering Health, Enriching Lives, we celebrated the 23rd Annual Community Health Awards on November 2, 2023. We honored Major League Baseball trailblazer Billy Bean, star of stage and runway Dominique Jackson and Commissioner Cup Champions the New York Liberty. With a hilarious program led by Murray Hill and an electrifying after party DJ’ed by Amber Martin, we danced, celebrated and donated our way through a history-making night. Look back with us as we prepare to make this year’s Community Health Awards even bigger, better and bolder. Check out photos below!

Thank You to Our Sponsors!
