Global Rescue Dinner Program
The International Rescue Committee has an educational fundraiser dinner every year to highlight the impactful work that they do and inspire donors to continue their support.
The 2024 Global Rescue Dinner was held in New York City and I played a pivotal role in designing the program for that event. The IRC successfully raised close to $9 million, showcasing the incredible generosity and commitment of those who support the IRC’s vital work.

Event Program
The theme for the 2024 Global Rescue Dinner was “Defy the Odds” and I was asked to design a program for the event. The goal was to make it visually compelling, deeply meaningful, rich with inspiring stories, and to align with the overall look & feel that was established for the event.
The program was one of many elements at the event that helped to create a thoughtful and impactful experience which inspired the donor community and generated much needed support for the IRC's mission.
The success of the Global Rescue Dinner was very much a team effort and is the result of the passion, creativity, collaboration, detailed planning, and strategic execution that I experienced while working with IRC’s talented in-house design team.
