Save the date for SPORTSBALL 2024!

SportsBall 2024, the 30th Annual Black Tie & Sneakers Gala of the Arthur Ashe Institute for Urban Health (AAIUH), will be held on Thursday, October 17th. 

 

SportsBall 2024 is 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 programs and research initiatives.  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, were the result of inadequate health care delivery, late detection, and insufficient health education.
