WOLA: Advocacy for Human Rights in the Americas

WOLA's 50th Anniversary

Join us for a year’s worth of exciting events!

In commemoration of WOLA’s 50 years, we will be hosting several key events including our premier 50th Anniversary Human Rights Awards Ceremony and Benefit Gala, which will be held on May 9, 2024. We hope that through these events we can honor WOLA’s past, present, and future work.

We invite our supporters to deepen their commitment to the future of our human rights work by pledging to sponsor our anniversary celebrations, including our 50th Anniversary Human Rights Awards Ceremony and Benefit Gala in May 2024. 50th anniversary sponsors at the Partner level ($5,000) and up will also receive two tickets to our VIP reception, held on September 21, 2023. At this event we will commemorate the 50th Anniversary of the Chilean coup, which was the impetus for WOLA’s founding the next year. Please see below for more information on sponsorship levels.

Please note: For charitable tax deduction purposes, pledges can be fulfilled over two calendar years.
