2025 40 Under 40 Winners

In 2023, Tracie was honored with the President’s Award for Extraordinary Impact in recognition of her exceptional contributions to Northwell’s philanthropic mission and the broader community. She built and led Northwell’s Employee Giving Program, which since its inception in 2017 has raised more than 20 million dollars from tens of thousands of employees, fostering a strong culture of philanthropy across the organization. 

Tracie created and managed Team Northwell, the organization’s official charity partner running team for the New York City Half and Full Marathons, engaging employees and donors in new and meaningful ways. She played a key role in increasing corporate sponsorship revenue by 100,000 dollars for major fundraising events during her time with the Children’s Miracle Network program at Northwell. 

During college I worked for the athletic development office. Once I graduated, a former colleague was working with Northwell (formerly North Shore-LIJ Health System) and I wanted to get involved.

Our mission of providing the best quality care for everyone, regardless of their ability to pay, is what has fueled me to work to my best ability, no matter what my job title was at that moment. I've seen firsthand the impact that philanthropy has across Northwell and I want to be a part of that continuous impact.

A few years ago, I had the privilege to create and build our Employee Giving Program. This project enabled me to partner with key stakeholders across the organization from frontline clinical staff to our executive leadership team. Over time, we've seen a shift in our culture and the understanding of our organization being a nonprofit worthy of everyone's support. I have been part of changing our culture and I am forever grateful for that.

My family - I am so thankful for the people in my life and never take a moment with them for granted.
