Photos from a Magical Evening: 2024 Gala Peace Made Possible

Tanenbaum CEO Rev. Mark Fowler opens the gala

Dear Friends,

I want to deeply thank all of you once again for celebrating our mission to build respect for religious diversity at our annual Gala: Peace Made Possible.

This year was particularly special with our very first interactive Gala. Staff from all four of our programs led guests through meaningful experiences to explore what it looks and feels like to practice behaviors of respect in schools, workplaces, health care settings, and in global peacebuilding.

Relive the Gala by exploring our photos of the night here.

The purpose of our Gala does not end when the evening concludes. I hope you left feeling motivated, connected, and energized to build bridges of respect and mutual understanding in your daily lives. In spaces that call for empathy and collective compassion, I encourage you to ask yourself, ‘What is mine to do?’ and act on it.

If you haven’t contributed to support our Gala, our largest fundraiser of the year, it’s not too late. Please consider a donation today. We are so grateful for your partnership and support. Stay tuned for more exciting events and ways to join our programming in 2025.
