We are just 17 days away from our gala on Thursday, September 7, 2017. We have planned a wonderful evening sure to be inspirational and celebratory. As you can see we have distinguished honorees and a dynamic speaker in Ray Suarez.

What we are missing is you! We’ve noticed that you have not purchased your ticket to the gala. As we said before, “Now more than ever” is not a catch phrase, it is our reality! So now more than ever, we genuinely need your help to continue to provide the support and services that immigrants and refugees require. These are our family members, friends and co-workers and they need us now! One way to assist us, and at the same time have a great inspirational experience, is by supporting our upcoming gala. All proceeds from the gala go to provide advocacy and services on behalf of immigrant families, communities, and our member organizations that support them.

We really want your presence at our gala. It will be an evening comprised of reflection, reverence, unforgettable inspiration, delectable food, entertainment, and a fabulous silent auction. However, if it is not possible for you to attend, a donation to support our work would also be greatly appreciated.
