2023 Gala Results & Videos: Alone, a drop. Together, a surging sea.

Sept 26, 2023 - Together with supporters registered from 27 countries, our host Parisa Fitz-Henley and special guest Rainn Wilson, we laughed and cried and were completely inspired by the interviews and stories from our partners in India, Guatemala, Panama, and The Gambia.


If you weren't able to attend or wish to watch again, please enjoy the recorded segments below.


THANK YOU for your generous outpouring of support! We are still tallying the total as donations continue to come in but will let you know the final amount soon. 


Our special gratitude to Parisa and Rainn, RenceCynthia Barnes-Slater, Laura Herrick, Urvashi Sahni, Tahera Jadhav, Lidia Oxi, the Torrez family, Mam Yassin Sarr, Mama Kujabi, our Corporate Sponsors, and all our hardworking and selfless partner organizations who made the Gala a truly inspirational gathering.
