The Floating Hospital’s summer gala event returns The Floating Hospital’s summer gala was a flagship fundraising event for many years. Like so many other events, the gala was paused for the past two years. Now, the charitable healthcare provider, headquartered in Long Island City, is excited to return with its Summer of Love benefit. Taking place in-person at Current, Pier 59, Chelsea Piers, on Monday, June 13, the glamorous event embraces a ‘60s theme of love. As well as food and drink, the event will include a paddle raise, where attendees can contribute to The Floating Hospital’s new Life Skills program. This is the opportunity to share the love, and support everything from resume and interviewing workshops, to hiring life skills case managers. The Floating Hospital’s President and General Counsel, Sean T. Granahan, Esq. said of the event: “During that time in the ‘60s, there was a keen awareness of your fellow human being—reminding each other that there are others out there other than yourself. Our event is always about us and the work we do; it’s not about an honoree. And that’s why our event always has appeal and that’s why it’s so important.” Since 1866, The Floating Hospital is the largest provider of healthcare to homeless families. We provide free and secure transport to and from more than 300 shelters and domestic violence safe houses throughout New York City. The Floating Hospital operates a main clinic in Long Island City. Additionally, we have satellite clinics at shelters, public housing, and assessment centers throughout the city. ENDS Notes to Editor: 1. Promotional images - WeTransfer link 2.
