SUMMERSTAGE, New York City
ON THURSDAY, SEPTEMBER 10, 2026, OUR DINNER & CONCERT AT SUMMERSTAGE RETURNS FOR AN UNFORGETTABLE NIGHT IN CENTRAL PARK FOUR DECADES IN THE MAKING
Join us as we celebrate 40 years of SummerStage — a milestone achievement — with a one-night-only dinner and private concert with A-list headliners you won’t want to miss, fully tented and attended by over 600 guests in the heart of Central Park.
This preeminent benefit raises $1.3M in support of our SummerStage concerts and our free environmental education, youth sports, and community engagement programs serving NYC’s under-resourced communities. Our celebration is a rare opportunity to gather and network with top executives, leading philanthropists, and changemakers.
