The UNICEF Gala, now in its 21st year, remains one of the most impactful events in New York City. The evening is a one-of-a-kind celebration of UNICEF’s work for children, helping to raise critical funds and build our community of champions for children. The 2026 Gala will shine a light on the remarkable strength of children and underscore how every moment matters. For children around the world, these moments can determine whether they survive, recover, and ultimately thrive. UNICEF exists to create those moments—every day, everywhere. This year’s Gala honors the power of those moments and the role we all play in making them possible.
