Our 2025 Annual Gala
Celebrating friendship and the power of collective action for a resilient democracy.
Our 2025 Gala will highlight the power of friendship and collective action as the key underpinnings of a resilient democracy.
​
Our Gala will highlight our community's ability to drive positive global change by bolstering locally-led advocacy organizations and social movements, and embracing the diverse perspectives and free speech that drive a healthy democracy.
