A Special Opportunity to Gather With GCI's Founder
Yumi Kuwana, the Chair, President, and Founder of Global Citizens Initiative, will be joining GCI for both the Gala in NYC and the Alumni Reunion in Tarrytown, NY. Yumi is excited to reconnect with Alumni, parents, mentors, and friends of GCI as we gather together to celebrate how far this community has come and all that it looks ahead to in the future. The weekend wouldn’t feel complete without her, and we’re thrilled she’ll be part of the celebration.
GATHER FOR DINNER IN NYC
Join us for an unforgettable evening at the iconic Harvard Club of New York City as we gather to celebrate the strength, spirit, and global impact of the GCI community.
The Gala is more than a dinner; it’s a moment to pause and honor the every part of GCI's journey. Alumni, parents, friends, and supporters will come together under one roof to share stories, spark new connections, and celebrate the leaders who continue to carry GCI’s mission into the world. Set against the backdrop of one of New York City’s most historic venues, the evening will blend elegance with meaning. We’ll hear inspiring reflections from across our community and share in conversations that highlight the depth, reach, and lasting impact of the GCI network.
Whether you joined us at the Summit years ago or have supported GCI from afar, this is your invitation to step into the larger story we are building together and to toast to what’s ahead.
