Thank you to all who joined us for our 39th Annual Gala on Thursday, October 24th at the Cipriani Wall Street. We hosted 1,100 guests and raised over $4.2 million for our families of fallen first responders! Because of our amazing supporters, we were able to increase the annual stipend from $10,000 to $11,000 and provide an additional $500 to each family this year. A special thank you to Honoree Mike McCabe and the Honorary Chairs who made this event so memorable: Kristin Chenoweth, Roger Clemens, John Franco, Nick Mangold, Mark Messier, Mariano Rivera, Alex Rodriguez, Nick Swisher, and Kayvon Thibodeaux.

Yesterday evening the Empire State Building beautifully lit up in the red and blue colors of Answer the Call, paying tribute to our fallen first responders and their families. We were grateful to have Colin Jost, actor, comedian, and writer from SNL, “flip the switch” on behalf of our organization. The lighting of the Empire State Building symbolizes our dedication to honoring and remembering the brave NYC first responders who made the ultimate sacrifice in the line of duty. This special lighting also represents Answer the Call's commitment to supporting the families left behind by these heroes. Photo credit: Empire State Realty Trust
