2026 Gridiron Gala

About the Event

For more than 40 years, United Way and the National Football League have teamed up to improve the lives of young people across the country. The New York Giants, the New York Jets, and United Way of New York City have partnered up to support our New York City neighbors. The Annual Gridiron Gala is a celebration of this longstanding partnership and a call for a continued collaboration to support the communities that United Way of New York City serves. Since its inception, the Gridiron Gala has raised nearly $40 million to help fund its critical community impact initiatives and programs for families across the city.
