Presented by Demera Restaurant and HPN4Tigray, this milestone evening marks five powerful years of community, compassion, and collective action.
Last year, you showed up in full force, and your generosity echoed across borders. This year, we’re honoring just how far your support has carried us—and the powerful momentum we now build for the years ahead. From equipping hospitals and sending life-saving medications, to funding mental health services in Sudanese camps and launching medical training programs across Tigray, you’ve helped HPN4Tigray transform hope into healing.
This year’s offerings include:
🍽️ An unforgettable culinary showcase featuring Chicago’s finest chefs, including Demera’s own Chef Tigist, serving up hand-curated delights crafted just for this night of purpose and celebration.
👗 Our signature marketplace (or souk) returns, featuring original artwork, cultural clothing, and handcrafted accessories, perfect for those who love to give with impact.
🏆 The crowd-favorite live auction is back, come ready to bid, laugh, and win in support of life-changing programs.
🌟 Meet the doctors behind the mission, whose voices from the ground help shape our work, come give them their flowers.
🌍 Stories that inspire from lives changed over the past five years to those still counting on us for care, dignity, and hope.
Whether you attend, gift a ticket, or make a contribution, your support fuels lasting impact. From specialized medical outreach bringing pediatric and OBGYN care to rural Tigray, to community-based mental health programs reaching those still healing from deep trauma in the refugee camps of Sudan, and computer training that opens doors for refugees, every gift helps us go further and reach those who need us most.
💛 Together, we've made five years count. Let’s make the next five even stronger.
