2025 New York City Gala Leadership

At Back on My Feet, we are building on a legacy of resilience, empowerment, and transformation. As we look to the future, our vision is bold: to expand opportunity and create lasting change for individuals experiencing homelessness in New York City and beyond.

To realize this vision, Back on My Feet is driving innovative solutions across fitness, community engagement, and career readiness. We believe that true change happens when people are met where they are—and given the support to go where they dream.

That means working hand-in-hand with every community—and that’s where our Gala Leadership plays a vital role. The Back on My Feet NYC Gala is not just a celebration; it’s a catalyst. Through your support, we are making strides toward a city where everyone has the chance to reclaim their independence and reach their full potential.
