WPDI’s 10-year anniversary Gala “A Tale of Peace” is about the stories of unknown heroes who fight for peace and development in some of the most difficult and dangerous places around the world.

Participants in the event will have the opportunity to discover unique tales of undeterred hope and contribute to transform narratives in vulnerable communities in Africa, North America, and Europe. The Gala will feature a VIP reception, a sumptuous dinner, and an incredible evening program with presentations of success stories and amazing performances by internationally acclaimed artists. The evening will culminate in a live auction.

Proceeds of WPDI’s 10-year anniversary Gala “A Tale of Peace” will help us continue to empower people from underprivileged places, providing them with education, trainings, and resources to develop projects of their own, especially small businesses.

We invite you to attend, sponsor, and be recognized in an evening to remember. All Gala sponsors receive a commensurate level of benefits before and during the Gala.
