43rd Annual Meeting and Awards

The FRIENDS 43rd Annual Meeting and Awards Ceremony was held on April 17th, 2025. Congratulations to the 2025 Award Recipients!

This event is traditionally held as a one-night-only experience and is not recorded. However, this year we made an exception to document the powerful and inspiring remarks delivered that evening, allowing us to share them with a wider audience. Click here to watch the highlights.

This is the perfect time to renew or join FRIENDS as a member, to be placed on our mailing list for notices about upcoming events, news, and issues concerning the Upper East Side. Your continued support is the engine that fuels our work, and we sincerely appreciate it!

Congratulations to the 2025 Award Recipients!
