2019 Hero Awards Benefit

THANK YOU FOR BEING A HERO!

Each year, our Hero Awards Benefit pays tribute to an extraordinary group of real-life heroes who were previously honored and funded by World of Children. These individuals have shown measurable outcomes and leveraged their recognition and original grant funds to deliver an even more profound impact on vulnerable children.

On Thursday, April 25, 2019, nearly 200 supporters and friends came together to raise more than $350,000 to support our Honorees high-impact programs around the world. Together, we will change the future for orphaned children who have been impacted by the trauma of war and conflict; blind, deaf or visually impaired children who long for a chance to go to school; children in the midst of upheaval as they flee the dangers of their home country; and children who may be differently abled, but still deserving of a life filled with hope and happiness.

Thank you to all who joined us to celebrate our 2019 Honorees. You are a hero!

2018 HERO AWARDS BENEFIT

On April 19, 2018, we honored three previous World of Children Honorees and awarded our second annual Crisis Award in partnership with UNICEF USA.

Together, we changed the future for children in refugee camps; children who have been bullied; children longing for an education; and children in need of basic necessities and medical care.
