The First Annual Debt Gala
On one Monday every spring, the world’s biggest fashion designers and celebrities come together to raise money at the Met Gala, garnering international attention and raising millions of dollars for the Met’s Costume Institute. For one night, all eyes are on the Met and as a result, this non-profit earns a massive amount of notoriety and funds.
It’s so effective, we couldn’t help but wonder: Why isn’t anyone else making this happen? Why, perhaps, isn’t anyone else holding an event that taps other fabulous talents in the fashion and entertainment industries to support a different organization? An organization that, perhaps, serves populations in our country who are most in need? And why not make it a joyous and fun-filled party that shows off the work of whoever can attend?
Monday, May 1st, 2023 is the date of the 73rd Met Gala.
Sunday, April 30th, 2023, will be the date of the First Annual Debt Gala.
Hosted at The Bell House in New York City, there will be a raucous red carpet, sensational performances, and talent galore. And, most importantly, 100% of proceeds* will go to RIP Medical Debt, removing an oppressive burden on some of the most vulnerable people across the entire United States. Help us reach our goal of $10,000 raised (an amount that has the power to eliminate $1,000,000 of medical debt!).

How RIP Works
Over a hundred million Americans, one in three, struggles with the weight of medical debt.
-
You make a donation
We use data analytics to pinpoint the debt of those most in need: households that earn less than 4x the federal poverty level (varies by state, family size) or whose debts are 5% or more of annual income.
-
RIP buys medical debt at a steep discount
We buy debt in bundles, millions of dollars at a time at a fraction of the original cost. This means your donation relieves about 100x its value in medical debt.
-
Together we wipe out medical debt
People across the country receive letters that their debt has been erased. They have no tax consequences or penalties to consider. Just like that, they’re free of medical debt.
