Individual tickets are available for $200, with sponsorship opportunities ranging from community support levels to a $25,000 Presenting Sponsor partnership.

Green, Executive Lead of Hidden Gems, Inc. “This gala allows us to celebrate the collective journey of our community while raising the resources needed to bring free archery opportunities to youth across New York City in 2027.
