On Monday, April 20th, 2026, the SAY community gathered at the beautiful Current in New York City for SAY’s 24th Annual Benefit Gala, an inspiring evening celebrating the voices, courage, and creativity of young people who stutter.
Together, we raised critical funds to support SAY’s free and accessible, life-changing programs for kids and teens who stutter.
Guests enjoyed powerful performances of original songs, a thrilling live auction, an open bar, and a delicious multi-course dinner, all while coming together to uplift young voices and strengthen a community where every voice deserves to be heard.
The evening featured unforgettable performances by Alec Chambers, Tom Kitt, Adriane Lenox, Julia Murney, Krysta Rodriguez, Kori Withers, and the incredible kids of SAY—making it a joyful and meaningful celebration of connection, creativity, and advocacy.
What makes SAY so impactful to me is the fact that it’s not about “fixing” a problem. It’s about creating a community where kids can feel proud of who they are and move forward in life with self-confidence and limitless potential. And every child deserves that.”
