The Forward will hold its Anniversary Gala on Monday, November 13, at the Museum of Jewish Heritage, celebrating 120 years of groundbreaking news coverage.
The celebration will feature award-winning actress and activist Fran Drescher as Emcee, alongside honorees Ben Smith, Andrea Mitchell and Forward Association President Sam Norich. The Forward has raised over $1 million dollars ahead of Monday’s event to fund its award-winning, independent journalism at a time it is most needed.
“Our donors, and those celebrating with us, recognize that supporting the Forward’s journalistic efforts in 2017 is a critical piece of supporting American democracy,” says CEO and Publisher Rachel Fishman Feddersen. “We’re honored to have so many inspirational readers and supporters lending their voices to us, helping the Forward tell the American Jewish story for another 120 years.”
