Over 500 Gala Attendees Enjoy Evening Celebrating Icahn Stadium

Hundreds of friends of the Alliance graced our Urban Farm in celebration of 20 years of Icahn Stadium for the 2025 Randall’s Island Park Alliance Gala.

Pinky Keehner (pictured above via BFA), Alex Egan, and Pat Dormer headlined the evening as the gala’s honorees, whose attendees featured several professional athletes including New York City and Boston Marathon winner Meb Keflezighi, 1996 Olympic Gold Medalist Derrick Adkins, and NYC Basketball Hall-of-Fame guard Rod Strickland.

RIPA’s annual gala is the biggest fundraising event of the year and 2025 was no different. The Alliance surpassed its goal of $1 million and enjoyed one of its best-attended galas in the last 20 years.

We would like to thank everyone who attended and donated and we are truly honored to feel so much support from our Randall’s Island Park Alliance family. Congratulations again to Pinky, Alex and Coach Dormer and we’re already looking forward to our 2026 gala.
