The UNICEF Gala
November 29, 2022
Thank you for joining us at The UNICEF Gala. With your generosity, we raised over $3.5m to provide health care and immunization, safe water and sanitation, nutritional support, education, emergency relief and opportunities for children everywhere to thrive.
The Event
The UNICEF Gala raises funding and awareness for UNICEF’s lifesaving work worldwide. The celebration draws some of the country’s biggest philanthropists alongside UNICEF Ambassadors for a not-to-be-missed evening featuring performances from today’s brightest stars. The 2022 gala will shine a light on the great strength of children and showcase the impact of UNICEF’s work to ensure every child is healthy, educated, respected and protected.
