What a Magnificent Night Honoring Melba Moore & Mazzoni Center

On Monday evening, many in our community shared an extraordinary night at our 3rd annual Mazzoni Center Honors benefit, honoring the extraordinary Melba Moore and celebrating the vital, life-saving work of Mazzoni Center. From the energetic opening by the Sixers Stixers to Savion Glover’s spellbinding dance performance to our spirited “Let the Sunshine In” finale (and absolutely everything in between), it was a magical and meaningful night.  

Whether you joined us in person or were with us in spirit, we want to share our gratitude for the community that makes our work possible every day.

As we reflect on the power of the evening, we invite you to stay connected and continue the momentum:

OUR HEALTH EQUITY FUND CHALLENGE: As part of Mazzoni Center Honors, we asked attendees to please consider contributing towards this year’s Health Equity Fund Challenge. As was noted at the event, Mazzoni Center gives away over $1 million in care each year to those who do not have the financial resources to pay. We set a goal on Monday evening of raising $25,000 for our Health Equity Fund. If you haven’t yet, we invite you now to contribute towards our Mazzoni Center Honors Health Equity Fund Challenge by clicking here.

For those who were able to join us, thank you for being part of an amazing night together and for your support of the vital work of Mazzoni Center. For those who didn’t, we missed you, but we are ever grateful for your trust and your belief in the work of Mazzoni Center.

To paraphrase the words of our CEO, Simon Trowell, in honoring Melba Moore, we also thank you – like Melba - for giving us a soundtrack for resilience, a melody for justice, and a harmony for love. Through your presence and your support, we know each day what’s possible when grace meets purpose.
