The 2024 UNICEF Gala will be UNICEF USA’s national celebration of the bold efforts that UNICEF makes for children around the world. This year's event will kick-off the holiday season and shine a light on UNICEF’s work to ensure every child is healthy, educated, respected and protected.

The evening is a celebration of UNICEF’s work, as well as a tribute to the outstanding humanitarians who make our work possible. UNICEF works in more than 190 countries and territories around the world and has helped save the lives of more children than any other humanitarian organization.
