Our Evening Under the Sphere gala brings together community leaders and residents for an evening of good food and networking, all while supporting a vital cause. Last year, the event drew close to 300 attendees, with support from many Queens' businesses, including Delta, the USTA, GovBall, Resorts World, and many others. As a non-profit 501(c)(3) organization, all proceeds of the event will go directly toward preserving, maintaining, and improving Flushing Meadows Corona Park for the benefit of all New Yorkers.
This year’s Evening Under the Sphere is taking place on Tuesday, September 29, 2026, from 6:00 PM to 9:00 PM under the iconic Unisphere. Tickets are available at allianceforfmcp.org/sphere

-Queens Borough President, the Honorable Donovan Richards Jr., who will be recognized with the Claire Shulman Award for Public Service.

Your attendance and contribution directly supports the preservation and vibrancy of Queens' flagship park. The Alliance for Flushing Meadows Corona Park is a registered 501(c)(3) non-profit organization (EIN # 84-4422628), making your donation tax-deductible to the extent allowed by law.
