17th Annual Arab American Association of New York Benefit Gala

At the Arab American Association of New York, we have managed to build momentum, find collective strength, and hold onto hope during a tumultuous and traumatic time for Arab and Muslim communities locally and across the world. Under the current federal administration and in an ongoing era of violence and war in the Middle East and North Africa, dozens of crises with far-reaching impacts on AAANY’s community have emerged in rapid fire succession. Through this time we have avoided organizational whiplash, and our community members have risen to the occasion.

This year we would like to invite you — our allies, our family, our community, and our friends — to join us in a celebration that extends beyond any one of us alone. At the 17th Annual AAANY Gala, we will honor those whose work has amplified and supported our own and whose commitment to justice has made our community and our work stronger. We have a long road ahead of us, but we are so grateful to be traveling it with you.
