About the Gala

Our annual gala will celebrate Harmony for Humanity: Uniting Generations in Service. This musical occasion will honor our more than 40-year history, spanning three generations, spreading progress and combatting poverty in rural India through our Signature Programs. Our work helps fight inequality and promote fundamental human rights by bringing gender equality, education, healthcare, and empowerment to underserved regions. Join us as we unite in the spirit of service!

Letter from the President

Dear Patrons,


We are excited to announce our annual Gala is returning Saturday, November 4th. In a world filled with conflict and destruction, our service and your compassion are needed more than ever. Our theme "Harmony for Humanity" reflects this spirit. As our Share and Care family legacy passes through generations, we are all united in our passion for service. Share and Care has contributed over $80 million in over 40 years. As our patrons, we deeply respect the faith you put in us and endeavour to make every contribution count. We spend considerable time vetting projects and conducting field visits. We hold our NGO partners to the highest reporting standards. We are proud that Charity Navigator which rates charities has consistently given us the highest possible 4 star rating. So we humbly ask you to please give generously so we can continue and expand our worthwhile mission.


Sincerely,
Saumil Parikh, President
