The Randall's Island Park Alliance celebrated the 20th anniversary of Icahn Stadium, a facility pivotal in the region's athletic landscape. The gala, featuring author Pinky Keehner, commemorated the stadium's rich history, from hosting legendary athletes to its role in local youth sports. Established on the grounds of the former Downing Stadium, Icahn Stadium symbolizes revitalization efforts led by RIPA since the 1990s. The event gathered over 450 supporters, underlining a collective commitment to nurturing community engagement through sports for children in nearby neighborhoods.
I am so delighted to be here tonight to celebrate the 20th anniversary of Icahn and to be honored as an author, Keehner said during her comments.
The passion that singularly unites us is our shared and fervent desire to provide a better place for the child who never explored the water's edge, never dug for worms, never saw a sunset or swung a bat or blasted down a track or tossed a discus.
