SportsBall 2022, the 28th Annual Black Tie & Sneakers Gala of the Arthur Ashe Institute for Urban Health (AAIUH) will be held LIVE and In-Person on Thursday, October 20, 2022, at the Pierre Hotel in Manhattan at 6PM.
SportsBall 2022 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.
