ARAHA's 24th Annual Dinner

Join us on Saturday, November 9, 2024, as we recap a year of fundraising with dignity.

Be Part of a Movement That Reshapes Philanthropy

This year’s Annual Banquet on November 9th, 2024 is more than just a gathering—it’s a moment to honor the incredible impact you, our donors, have made. We’re pausing to say thank you, reflect on the lives transformed by your generosity, and discuss how we can continue working toward a future where dignity is at the heart of philanthropy.

At ARAHA, we’ve always believed that giving is about more than just donations. It’s about the relationships we build, the stories we share, and the dignity we uphold. This year’s banquet embraces our Fundraising with Dignity theme, celebrating the strength and resilience of the communities we serve in the Horn of Africa. We will highlight the journey we’ve taken together, all while looking forward to the year ahead.
