Award-Winning Actor, Producer, and Writer to Raise Healthcare Funds for New York’s Most Vulnerable

NEW YORK CITY — Award-winning actor, producer and writer Tina Fey will host Ryan Health’s annual Caring for New York Gala on Thursday, June 9 at Cipriani South Street. Ryan Health’s Caring for New York Gala raises funds to support the Manhattan community health center network’s mission of providing exceptional primary care and patient-centered specialty service to underserved New Yorkers, who have been disproportionally impacted throughout the pandemic.

The Caring for New York Gala will also feature entertainment by Sing Harlem, the breakout musical group from the Mama Foundation for the Arts under the direction of Ahmaya Knoelle Higginson. The cocktail reception will feature the Richard Cortez Band, led by queer jazz song interpreter Richard Cortez.

This year’s gala healthcare hero honorees are Kenneth L. Davis, MD, Chief Executive Office of the Mount Sinai Health System, and C. Virginia Fields, Founder and Chief Executive Officer of Black Health, Inc.

“We are honored and delighted to have the incomparable Tina Fey hosting our Caring for New York Gala, our signature event to raise money for healthcare services to underserved New Yorkers,” said Brian P. McIndoe, President and Chief Executive Officer of Ryan Health. “Our staff has gone to extraordinary lengths throughout the pandemic to meet the needs of our community, and this event provides the funding that allows us to fulfill our mission. The need still exists, and it is growing.”

“Ryan Health does phenomenal work in underserved communities throughout New York City, and I am thrilled to support them in their mission to provide healthcare to anyone who needs it, regardless of their ability to pay,” said Tina Fey.

The Gala begins with a VIP cocktail reception at 5:30 pm, followed by a general cocktail reception, 6:00 to 7:00 pm, with the dinner and program starting at 7:00 pm. Gala attendees will have the opportunity to bid on spectacular auction items like sporting events for the New York Yankees, New York Rangers, and New York Giants, Broadway show tickets, a Saturday Night Live experience and so much more!
