This banquet gathers friends, supporters, and partners who care deeply about our community. It is a gathering for us to honor the relationships that sustain us, to show up for one another, and to celebrate who we are and what we continue to build together.

At the heart of our work is a belief that when children are cared for, nurtured, and included, they grow into confident, compassionate people—rooted in who they are and ready to give back in ways that strengthen their families and communities. Many of the young people we serve come from immigrant households whose voices, stories, and dreams don’t always find space in the broader fabric of our society. But through our programs and engagement, we create that space—where children can grow, be themselves, and feel part of something larger.

That spirit—of giving back, of being present for one another—is what this evening is all about. Your presence, your support, and your belief in this work help make it possible.

We hope you’ll join us at the 2025 ISS Benefit Banquet —by purchasing a ticket or tables, encouraging your friends to buy tickets, and/or making a donation—and celebrate our collective effort of shaping a more caring, more just future.

Click on our portal Donate / Ticket button to participate--with opportunities to support through ticket purchases, sponsorships, and print journal ads – all of which can be processed securely online, with an option to pay by check as well.
