Center for Independence of the Disabled, New York 2025 Gala

Join us for CIDNY’s Annual Gala on Monday, October 27, 2025 to support greater accessibility throughout New York City!

Since 1978, the Center for Independence of Disabled, New York (CIDNY) has worked to ensure full integration, independence, and equal opportunity for all New Yorkers with disabilities, by removing barriers to the social, economic, cultural, and civic life of the community.

People with disabilities experience significant challenges trying to navigate an able-bodied society. CIDNY focuses on seven areas of advocacy: physical health, mental health, housing, education, employment, voting, and transportation. We are inviting you to our annual fundraiser to help us advance our mission.

The event will take place on Monday, October 27, 2025, from 6 p.m. – 8 p.m., once again taking place at the Perelman Arts Center (PAC NYC) located at 251 Fulton Street New York, NY 10007. Featuring food and drink from Metropolis by Chef Marcus Samuelsson.

Date: Monday, October 27, 2025, 6 p.m. – 8 p.m.

Location: Perelman Performing Arts Center (PAC NYC), 251 Fulton Street New York, NY 10007

Keynote Speaker: Emmy and Peabody Award-winning journalist Geraldo Rivera
