Why Support the Third Street Gala
Why YOU should support Third Street Gala
Third Street Gala is our biggest celebration and most important fundraiser of the year.
On this special night we raise over $1.6M to support Third Street's Financial Aid Fund, which benefits over 75% of Third Street students.
Third Street believes that music and dance are shared languages that unite diverse communities and positively change the world. Your support of the Gala helps us empower 7,000+ students through instruction in 24+ instruments, voice, dance, ensembles, music production and more; arts education programs in 40+ NYC public schools, public housing, and community centers; an arts-infused preschool and early childhood program; and 150+ free concerts across the city.
