Anera - 2026 Annual Dinner

Fri, 09 Oct · doors 6:30 PM

The Ritz-Carlton Ballroom,

This year's theme, We Carry Tomorrow: Decades of Hope, Carried Forward, reflects on Anera's 58 years of work and the understanding that the future we hope for does not arrive on its own. It is carried forward, step by step, by us all. During times of crisis, it is vital that we all gather together to strengthen our community. We will share about Anera's work on the ground and the tangible impacts made each day, powered by our community. Together, we will build our tomorrow.

The Brooklyn Nomads began with a longing for home — not just a place, but a feeling: the warmth of a room, the memory inside a song, the joy of being surrounded by people who understand.

Since 2014, every show has been an invitation to gather, listen, and feel at home with one another.
