Deets: The amfAR New York Gala is our annual black-tie benefit that serves as the official kick-off to New York Fashion Week and honors individuals who have made outstanding contributions to raise awareness about the HIV/AIDS epidemic. This spectacular star-studded evening will feature cocktails, a seated dinner, a live auction of luxury items, musical performances, and a special tribute to our honorees. 

The amfAR New York Gala has been one of New York City’s most successful and high-profile AIDS benefits since 1998 and consistently attracts and salutes some of the biggest names in entertainment, fashion, art, and AIDS advocacy. To date, the amfAR New York Gala has raised more than $15 million for amfAR’s life-saving research.
