Last week, on May 28th, we celebrated our 2026 Spring Gala! The event was a wonderful opportunity for our community to come together to celebrate the strength of our mission, the generosity that sustains this work, and the countless lives shaped by Planned Parenthood’s care.
Thanks to you, our incredible supporters, we raised critical funds to support UHPP’s commitment to providing essential health care at nearly 16,000 visits each year in Albany, Columbia, Greene, and Rensselaer counties through UHPP's three health centers (Albany, Hudson, and Troy), education programs, and advocacy for the rights of our community. Thank you again to our Presenting Sponsor, Godfrey Financial Associates, Inc. for their generous support, as well as our board members, gala sponsors, staff, volunteers, and guests who made the gala possible.
We were thrilled to celebrate our incredible honorees, Albany Mayor Dr. Dorcey Applyrs, recipient of the Assemblymember George Michaels Award for Bravery, and Perfect Ten Hudson, recipient of the Coalition and Community Partner Award. Our honorees inspired us to stand for something, to be louder in our convictions, and to remember that we are stronger when we go together.
Thank you to all who supported this special event!
