Capturing the Magic of our Past Gala
Last year’s event was truly unforgettable, as we celebrated the incredible achievements of our community. We proudly honored the MBE of the Year Awardee and the WBE of the Year Awardee—each a beacon of innovation, resilience, and community impact. We also recognized our Corporate Ally of the Year, whose support has been pivotal in driving our mission forward.
