White Cross Ball

of New York City

First held in 2015, the White Cross Ball of New York City supports the Order of Malta’s global humanitarian efforts, including Malteser International Americas, Holy Family Hospital of Bethlehem, and Malta Camp USA, and has in the past supported Malteser International and the Order of Malta International Summer Camp for Disabled Youth.

Malteser International Americas
The international humanitarian aid organization of the Order of Malta, Malteser International Americas cares for the most vulnerable among us by providing aid to people affected by poverty, disease, conflict and disaster throughout North, Central, and South America and the Caribbean. The St. John Committee has also supported Malteser International, which provides aid to people in need in over 140 projects in more than 30 countries.

Malta Camp USA
Malta Camp USA is built on the belief that every person is wonderfully made (Psalm 139:14) and deserving of a community that fully loves and accepts them exactly as they are!
