UNICEF works around the world to help children access essential services including health care, education, nutrition, safe water and emergency support. UNICEF USA helps advance this work by engaging supporters across the United States.
To support this global mission, The UNICEF Gala 2026 will take place on Tuesday, December 1, 2026, at Cipriani 25 Broadway in New York City, bringing supporters together for an evening focused on the needs and potential of children around the world.
The evening will highlight UNICEF’s work to help children survive, recover and thrive, while raising funds for programs that support children in vulnerable communities around the world.
