Description

The 25th Annual Black Tie & Sneakers Gala of the Arthur Ashe Institute for Urban Health (AAIUH), will bring together renowned guests representing sports, philanthropy, business, entertainment, and medicine to celebrate the legacy of tennis champion and humanitarian Arthur Ashe.

SportsBall 2019 features interactive games, dinner, dancing, entertainment, an awards ceremony, and a silent auction. Each guest will receive a complimentary pair of sneakers.

IT’S A CELEBRATION WITH A PURPOSE!!!

Each year the Institute honors individuals and organizations that are making significant contributions to urban communities in the areas of health, education, medical research, community service, and philanthropy. The funds raised at SportsBall support the Institute’s innovative community health education, training and research programs.

Arthur Ashe founded the Institute in 1992, just two months before his death from AIDS, in response to the disproportionate amount of illness and death in urban communities from preventable diseases. Arthur knew that many of these diseases, such as diabetes and hypertension, are the result of inadequate health care delivery, late detection, and insufficient health education.
