SPECIAL ANNOUNCEMENT
THANK YOU FOR SUPPORTING OUR 2025 GALA
Last week, the Asphalt Green community gathered at our Annual Gala to celebrate the many ways we strive to bring sports, fitness, and play to all New Yorkers. Thanks to our generous supporters, we raised more than $1.2 million in support of that mission.
A special thank you to Asphalt Green Board Member and our deserving Gala honoree, Kimberly A. Burd, whose advocacy inspires our efforts to ensure people of all abilities have access to our programs.
All funds raised from the event will expand our reach and strengthen our programs citywide, including our Wave Makers Initiative, Recess Enhancement Program, Community Sports Leagues, older adult memberships, scholarships, and more.
Thanks to supporters like you, New Yorkers of all ages are living active, healthier, and more connected lives with the support of Asphalt Green. We couldn’t be more proud — or more grateful — to have you on our team.

Research shows that LGBTQ+ individuals participate in sports at a significantly lower rate and experience higher rates of cardiovascular disease, obesity, depression, and anxiety.

Owens Health & Wellness Community Center.
The best athletes know that when the season ends, the work just begins. This month, our experts at AG Fitness put together a work out athletes from all sports can use in the offseason.
