Celebrate! 2026

Jericho Project invites you to Celebrate! 2026: Bridges to Independence, our annual gala and awards ceremony, taking place on Monday, May 4, 2026, at 6:00 PM at Tribeca Rooftop in New York City. This special evening brings together supporters, partners, and advocates committed to advancing housing stability and long-term independence for individuals and families across NYC.

This year, we are proud to present the President’s Award to Karen Wharton, the Board Secretary of the Jericho Project Board of Director, whose journey powerfully reflects the theme Bridges to Independence. Once a recipient of Jericho Project services after losing her home in the aftermath of Superstorm Sandy, Karen rebuilt her life through supportive housing and workforce opportunities and now serves as a leader and advocate within our organization.

We will also recognize Azimuth Development Group LLC and Procida Companies LLC with our Corporate Spotlight Award for their transformative impact on housing across New York City. Their leadership in innovative development and commitment to inclusive, diverse communities have strengthened neighborhoods and expanded access to quality housing.

Celebrate! 2026 supports Jericho Project’s comprehensive programs, including supportive housing, mental health services, workforce development, and family-centered initiatives that help individuals and families transition from homelessness to long-term independence. As the affordable housing crisis continues to impact our most vulnerable neighbors, community partnership remains essential.

We welcome you to join us for this meaningful evening in support of housing stability, opportunity, and dignity for all.
