ArchCare Virtual Gala

ArchCare’s first ever Virtual Gala, hosted by Rosanna Scotto, Co-host of FOX 5’s Good Day New York, was livestreamed on October 22, 2020, to a custom-designed event microsite. The entirely original virtual program featured His Eminence, Timothy Michael Cardinal Dolan, Archbishop of New York; Scott LaRue, President & CEO of ArchCare; tributes from comedian Jim Gaffigan & his wife Jeannie; Tino Martinez; Mike Piazza; Nicole Henry, and more. The evening celebrated ArchCare’s Healthcare Heroes and the challenges they faced throughout the COVID-19 pandemic. Their efforts were spotlighted through a series of powerful video vignettes illustrating the everyday lives of a few of the incredibly heroic individuals working at each of ArchCare’s programs including Managed Care, Home Care, Nursing Homes, Specialty Hospital, and PACE Centers. The evening opened with a welcome video and invocation by Monsignor Joseph P. LaMorte followed by the ArchCare Gala’s traditional performance of “God Bless America” - sung by the New York Tenors. For the text-to-pledge moment, a moving performance of Leonard Cohen’s “Hallelujah” by the New York Tenors paired with onscreen visuals and donor recognition inspired the live audience to give generously. CMI Event Planning + Fundraising is a longtime producer of ArchCare’s in-person Gala. This year, CMI and Empire worked in partnership to produce the high-level, virtual event ArchCare needed.
