The Gerald Obah Legacy Fund

Gerald Obah danced with DanceWorks New York City for 11 seasons and was tragically killed by a drunk driver on July 12, 2018. Gerald was a pillar in the DanceWorks community. A loyal friend who cheered the loudest and supported everyone with enthusiasm. Anyone who attended one of our shows left knowing who Gerald Obah was; he left everything he had on that dance floor.

We hope that this Fund provides an outlet to celebrate Gerald's life and ensure his legacy lives on. If you would like to honor Gerald, and share his common interest in dance and life, please consider making a donation to his Go Fund Me campaign: https://www.gofundme.com/gerald-obah-danceworks-legacy.

Over $40,000 dollars has been donated in Gerald’s name. Early donations went to support Gerald’s family, to Mother’s Against Drunk Driving (MADD), and to support the fellow passenger injured in Gerald’s car accident. All future fundraising goes toward Gerald Obah Dance Scholarships which are awarded to Black male youth dancers who demonstrate the upstanding characteristics that Gerald lived by: a commitment to dance and the performing arts, a supportive and friendly community member, and living life full out on his own terms. All donations, as well as the use of funds, is coordinated with the Obah Family.
