This year’s theme will be “Celebrating Courage,” a fitting tribute as we mark the milestone of resettling our 20,000th refugee since IRC Atlanta opened its doors in 1979.  Ms. Isha Sesay, CNN International anchor and host of Inside Africa, will serve as our Mistress of Ceremonies.
 
Guests will enjoy international cuisine, musical entertainment, a silent auction and spectacular views from Nelson Mullins’ penthouse terrace. The evening will culminate in a spoken program, as well as an out of the ordinary live auction presided over by comedian and actor Rob Cleveland.
