“Our 21st annual gala is a milestone occasion and we are honored to celebrate it by honoring the legacy of our founder Arthur Ashe - the late tennis champion and humanitarian,” says Ruth C. Browne, CEO of The Arthur
Ashe Institute for Urban Health. “Like
Arthur, each of our honorees is a trailblazer and they exemplify his commitment to making the world a healthier and more equitable place.”
The funds raised at Sports Ball support the Institute’s innovative community health education programs and research initiatives. Arthur Ashe founded the Institute in
1992, in partnership with SUNY Downstate Medical Center, just two months before his death from
AIDS and in response to the disproportionate amount of illness
and death in urban communities from preventable causes. Arthur knew that many diseases, such as diabetes and hypertension, are the result of inadequate health care delivery, late detection and insufficient health education.
