About this Event

The Robert Briscoe Award is named in honor of Robert Briscoe the first Jewish Lord Mayor of Dublin and a leader in Ireland’s fight for independence.

This year, we are proud to honor Steve Cohen and Timothy Cardinal Dolan for their work and dedication to improving the quality of life for immigrants.

Passed hors d'oeuvres and cocktails will be served.

Due to strict venue capacity, tickets for this event are limited and expected to sell out rapidly.

Proceeds from the 2026 Robert Briscoe Awards will go directly to EIIC, covering critical operating costs not met by other funding sources and sustaining the full range of services at both our Bronx and Queens offices. Thank you for supporting EIIC's commitment to "Serving the Needs of the Community."
