About the Event
Since 1858, YWCA NYC has worked to eliminate racism and advance opportunity for women, girls, and families across New York City. Salute is our signature annual celebration and fundraiser, bringing together hundreds of leaders from business, philanthropy, government, and community to honor those building pathways for New York's next generation.
Guests will gather at City Winery for a cocktail reception, seated dinner, awards program, and live paddle raise, with opportunities to meet the students, staff, and volunteers who shape our work.
