The Americares Airlift Benefit on April 16, 2026, will celebrate the organization’s mission to increase access to health in times of disaster and every day and honor Actor, Director, Producer and Americares Board Member Tony Goldwyn. Award-winning Television Creator, Producer, Author and CEO of Shondaland Shonda Rhimes will present Goldwyn with the Bob and Leila Macauley Humanitarian Spirit in recognition of his lifetime of philanthropy.

The inspirational evening begins at 6 p.m. at Pier Sixty in New York, N.Y., and includes cocktails, dinner, and dancing. The next morning, a group of guests will fly to Asheville, N.C., where Americares is supporting health services and improving lives in communities recovering from Hurricane Helene. Airlift passengers will see Americares health programs in action, take part in volunteer activities and meet health workers, hurricane survivors and community leaders.
