Out of utmost concern for the health and safety of our supporters, this year's in-person gala will be a completely virtual experience. We have decided to make this year's virtual gala free to attend, so we invite you join us and to also spread the word among your friends and family members. Help us ensure that the important histories and stories related to the former U.S. Immigration Station at Angel Island are not forgotten, especially at a time when we are seeing increasing discrimination and attacks against Asians and other immigrant groups.

With this year’s theme of Celebrating Our Dreams, Imagining Our Future, we pay tribute to the hopes and dreams of immigrants and their descendants. We also honor this year's Immigrant Heritage Award honorees and recognize the efforts of everyone who has worked towards the restoration of the former USIS Hospital (opening as the Angel Island Immigration Museum).
