Event details
Join us at the 2024 Global Rescue Dinner and see how the International Rescue Committee is defying the odds in the most difficult places in the world.
With the support of our donors and partners, we find a way to break through every barrier—especially when it comes to supporting the unique needs of women and girls. No matter the obstacle, no matter the conflict zone—we press on and help people survive, recover and rebuild their lives.
At the event, we will honor our staff, clients and this year’s awardees. Celebrate with us their achievements, life-changing work and courage in the face of adversity.
