NEW YORK, NY, UNITED STATES, May 14, 2026 /EINPresswire.com/ -- The National Psoriasis Foundation (NPF) welcomed more than 225 supporters, advocates, and leaders in health care and industry to its annual New York Soirée on April 16, 2026. The inspiring evening brought together a passionate community committed to accelerating research, advancing advocacy, and improving the lives of the more than eight million people in the U.S. living with psoriatic disease.
Held at SECOND, the New York Soirée raised nearly $500,000 to support NPF’s mission to drive efforts to cure psoriatic disease and improve the lives of those affected.

Honoring Leaders in the Community
NPF proudly recognized this year’s honorees for their outstanding contributions:
• Matthew Kiselica - Excellence in Leadership & Volunteerism Award
• James Krueger, M.D., PhD – Lifetime Achievement Award
Each honoree was recognized for their compassion, expertise, and unwavering commitment to impact within the psoriatic disease community and beyond.
The success of the New York Soirée was made possible through the generous support of its sponsors, including:
• Presenting Sponsor: Johnson & Johnson
• Cures Sponsor: Lilly
• Progress Sponsors: Novartis, NYU Langone Health, and Organon
Their partnership plays a vital role in fueling research, expanding educational resources, and ensuring people with psoriatic disease and their families have access to critical support.

“The New York Soirée is a powerful reminder of what we can accomplish together,” said Leah M. Howard, J.D., NPF President and CEO. “Because of this community, we are accelerating progress and bringing hope to millions of people living with psoriatic disease.”
