The inaugural Issa Trust Foundation “For The Children” New York Charity Gala, held at Sony Hall in November of 2022, was such a sold-out success that for the second staging on May 11th of this year, the organizers chose a much bigger venue - the beautiful and very upscale Cipriani 42nd Street in Manhattan.
“We are looking forward to our second ‘For The Children’ Gala at Cipriani 42nd Street on Saturday, May 11, with our goodwill reggae Ambassadors

Morgan, Luciano and Kumar,” Paul Issa, Chairman of the Issa Trust Foundation, stated. “The funds raised will go to complete the construction of the Mary Issa Pediatric and Adolescent Health Centre in St Ann, Jamaica,” he said.
“It’s going to be a fantastic evening –starting with cocktails at 6:30pm, a Cipriani-standard served gourmet dinner, silent auction, dancing, and a spectacular show with these all-time reggae greats.”
Patron of the Issa Trust Foundation, Lady Allen, wife of the Governor-General of Jamaica Sir Patrick Allen, will be in attendance, as well as other very special guests from Jamaica.
The Issa Trust Foundation has begun construction of The Mary Issa Pediatric and Adolescent Health Centre at Richmond, St Ann, Jamaica, which will provide general physical and mental health support for the children and teens in Jamaica’s North Coast area. Throughout the year, with visiting specialists, the Centre will offer expertise in pediatric cardiology, nephrology, gastroenterology, and oncology. Other services will also be offered, such as vision screening along with free glasses if needed.
“Healthy children are the foundation of a thriving society. Investing in their health today ensures a brighter, more prosperous future,” shared Diane Pollard, President & CEO of the Issa Trust Foundation, a US-registered 501(c)3 nonprofit.
“Our facility will be the first health center to specifically cater to children and teenagers, offering pediatric health care and adolescent services to the youth of the Ocho Rios general area, with a holistic approach that considers not only the physical but the mental and social support for our young people,” Pollard added.
