United Way of New York City invites you to celebrate 30 years of partnership with the New York Giants and the New York Jets at the Gridiron Gala!
Join us for an epic experience at The Glasshouse on Manhattan’s West Side – when philanthropy meets football and we come together for a well-deserved salute to our corporate Community Quarterbacks and Hometown Hero athletes. These leaders continue to support United Way of New York City’s community initiatives and provide resources that make a real difference to children and their families across the five boroughs.
