Announcing our 2026 SAGE Awards & Gala honorees! 🎉

Join us Monday, October 26 as we celebrate two extraordinary leaders:

🏆 Dr. Sam Chandan, Corporate Advocacy Award
Founding Director of the Chen Institute for Global Real Estate at NYU Stern and Global Chair of the Real Estate Pride Council, Dr. Chandan champions LGBTQ+ visibility and representation in commercial real estate. He is also leading research on LGBTQ+ senior housing and, as an economist and epidemiologist, on public health issues including mpox vaccine effectiveness and HIV transmission reduction.

🎤 Marilyn Maye, Lifetime Achievement Award
For eight decades, the legendary cabaret singer has been one of the most beloved voices in American entertainment. She holds the record for most appearances by a singer on The Tonight Show (76!), earned a Grammy nomination for Best New Artist, and sold-out Carnegie Hall's Stern Auditorium in 2023. Even now, in her late 90s, she headlines sold-out rooms and has been an outspoken friend and champion of the LGBTQ+ community throughout her career. And yes, she'll be performing a few classics for us!

Please join us in honoring their remarkable impact on our community.
