Annual GalaThe Urban Pathways 50th Anniversary Gala

On April 30, 2025, we came together at the Urban Pathways 50th Anniversary Gala for an extraordinary night. More than 450 guests came gathered for a historic evening that raised over $1.2 million—the most ever in our organization’s history—to support New Yorkers overcoming homelessness.

Held in honor of our 50th Anniversary, the gala placed a spotlight on the resilience of our clients and the unwavering commitment of our supporters. From the energetic live auction to the inspiring words of our honorees, the evening was filled with powerful moments. We were moved by the sense of unity as hundreds of compassionate New Yorkers came together who believe, as we do, that homelessness can and must be solved. It was a night to remember, full of generosity, joy, and unwavering commitment to change.

Our community is the reason we can continue this critical work. Because of you, thousands of people navigating homelessness will receive the housing, services, and stability they need. Their support helps create new beginnings for individuals like Greg and Eric, whose experiences we were honored to share during the evening’s video.
