The Debt Gala: A benefit show for RIP Medical Debt (in NYC)

The Second Annual Debt Gala is coming!

The Debt Gala is back and bolder than ever! And hopefully drier than ever! After last year’s show was flooded out halfway through due to historic rains, we’re back and ready to hit the red carpet all over again!

On May 5th, 2024, The Debt Gala returns to Brooklyn for a night of fun, fashion, and community.

This is YOUR chance to have a moment in the limelight in your fabulous outfits and creations. While the Met Gala is a pop culture experience reserved for an elite few, we are a red carpet for the people. Show off your style, enjoy a raucous variety show, and celebrate at the Debt Ball dance party. All in service of an incredible cause.

Last year, we raised nearly $20,000 to alleviate a whopping $1,995,300.85 in medical debt for 1,082 families, and this year, we’re doubling down on impact. All proceeds will be split between The Debt Collective and Dollar For, two powerhouse organizations dedicated to eradicating medical debt and building a world where people aren’t bankrupted due to healthcare costs.

Embrace your inner cozy rebel with this year’s theme, “Sleeping Baddies: Slumber Party.” Turn your nightgowns into ball gowns, get your PJ’s paparazzi ready, and get ready for photographers to capture your creative looks as you sashay in your duvet down the runway.

Let’s make a statement, let’s make a change – join us for a night where everyone, regardless of their financial status, can shine bright and be part of a meaningful cause! Grab your tickets HERE to the high fashion slumber party of the year.
