Gabrielle’s Angel Foundation for Cancer Research Holds Young Professional Committee Annual Midsummer Angel Gala

This fun and festive event was held to raise funds and awareness for cancer research and music therapy programs. This year, the event was held at The Ned NoMad in New York and featured a multitude of notable New York attendees in the world of fashion, arts, philanthropy, and finance.

Ubah Hassan, activist, model, and star of the new cast of the Real Housewives of New York City, was honored for her contribution towards the cause. Other high-profile attendees included Danielle Cabral and Nate Cabral from Real Housewives of New Jersey, hospitality entrepreneur Richie Akiva, and The Bachelorette’s Dale Moss. Ubah’s fellow cast members and friends Jenna Lyons, Erin Lichy, Jessel Taank, and Brynn Whitfield were in attendance to support their co-star.

The event was brimming with moments of joy and celebration throughout the night. Ubah Hassan stole the show with her heartfelt speech and

dance moves, while other celebs joined in to create a lively atmosphere. Attendees enjoyed a range of delightful activities such as tarot card readings, a caviar station by IKRAA Caviar, an alcohol-infused ice cream cart provided by Aubi and Ramsa, a candy bar by BonBon, live painting by Ross Pino, and a Photo Booth.
