Annual Gala

On April 14, 2026, Step Up for Better Living brought together friends, supporters, community partners, advocates, and members of our extended SUBL family for our Step Up for Wellness Annual Fundraiser at The Skylark in New York City. The evening was a celebration of community, connection, and the collective commitment to creating meaningful opportunities for individuals and families throughout New York City.

Throughout the evening, guests had the opportunity to learn more about Step Up for Better Living’s mission, celebrate the progress we have made, and recognize the people and partnerships that continue to make our work possible. More than a celebration, the fundraiser served as an important opportunity to raise awareness and critical support for the programs, services, and resources that help our clients work toward greater stability, wellness, and independence.

This year’s event was especially meaningful as we reflected on the impact of our work and looked ahead to the continued growth of our organization. Every guest, donor, sponsor, partner, and supporter who joined us played a part in the success of the evening. Their generosity and belief in our mission allow us to continue strengthening our programs, expanding access to essential resources, and responding to the evolving needs of the communities we serve.

We are incredibly grateful to everyone who helped make the 2026 Step Up for Wellness Fundraiser such a memorable and successful evening. Your continued support moves our mission forward and helps us build Healthy Minds. Stable Homes. Stronger Neighborhoods.
