The Ali Forney Center Gala Raises $2.5 Million for LGBTQ Youth

On May 4, the Ali Forney Center’s spring gala, among the nearest and dearest to New York’s creative sphere, returned to Cipriani Wall Street. Hosted by writer-actor Julio Torres, the evening brought notables from the fashion, dance, TV, and art industries together in support of unhoused LGBTQ young people. Ali Forney Center founder Carl Siciliano, along with Marshall Sprung and Lucina Rodriguez were all honored with awards, after which guests were treated to performances by Madison Rose and T Oliver Reid. Notables in attendance included Cynthia Nixon, Tommy Dorfman, Aaron Rose Philip, Taylor and Liev Schreiber, Jovani Furlan, Tanner Richie, Fletcher Kasell, Mitchell Gold, Fran Tirado, and more.
