The first ever Emerge Gala will take place on World Refugee Day, with a goal to raise funds and awareness for Houston organizations that shine a light on and help the Houston refugee community.
The event will kick off with an exhibition and auction during cocktail hour, where paintings and portraits created by local artists will be on display. As the night continues, attendees will enjoy a seated dinner and live music from harpist Sarah Hall.
Afterwards, attendees will have the chance to hear from Emerge Event founder and host, Jennifer Sebasigari; human rights activist Jacquelyn Aluotto; founder and CEO of Karuna Beverages, Angela Zeng, PhD; and writer and global affairs analyst Michael Bociurkiw.
In recognition of their contributions to the community, Plant It Forward will be honored for their efforts in refugee education and entrepreneurship. Proceeds from the event will go directly to local nonprofits that serve refugee families in the greater Houston area and the United Nations’ Human Rights Fund.
