On behalf of the Rema Hort Mann Fund, thank you for your generous support of our 30th Anniversary Gala. We are grateful to have you join us for this milestone evening as we celebrate three decades of supporting cancer patients, emerging artists, and the transformative power of art and care.

Since its founding in 1995, RHMF has provided more than $9 million in support to individuals at critical moments in their lives and careers. Over the past 30 years, we have helped more than 2,300 cancer patients and their families stay connected during treatment through our Peter Hort Quality of Life Cancer Grants, and have supported more than 400 emerging artists at pivotal points in their creative development.

This year’s gala is especially meaningful as we honor RHMF’s legacy while looking toward the future of our mission. In honor of our 30th anniversary, we are proud to launch a new pillar of our work: the RHMF Artists Living with Cancer Grant program. This initiative will provide direct financial support to New York City based visual artists undergoing active cancer treatment, helping to address urgent financial instability related to illness and care when uninterrupted treatment is critical.

We are honored to present the inaugural Artists Living with Cancer Grant to Jacolby Satterwhite, who has bravely and publicly shared his experience with cancer with both the art community and the wider world. We are also proud to recognize George Wells and Manfred Rantner for their longstanding commitment to artists and their generous support of the arts community.

Your support helps make this work possible. By joining us at the gala, you are directly contributing to RHMF’s ability to uplift artists, support patients and families, and build meaningful connections across our community. We are so grateful for your belief in our mission and for standing with us at such an important moment in the Fund’s history.

We look forward to celebrating with you on Wednesday, October 28th at Tribeca Rooftop. Our start time is 6pm.

As we get closer, we’ll send program details for the evening.
