On the evening of October 15th, Rian Immigrant Center’s Solas Awards Celebration will be held as a special, global and virtual event. From the comfort of your home, we invite you to come together to support immigrant families on the path to new beginnings.
Solas Sponsorships provide vital funding for Rian’s Legal, Education and Wellness Services. In light of COVID-19 and its economic and health effects on the immigrant community, your support will have a tremendous impact. Learn more about our Sponsorship Opportunities here.
Each year, Rian presents the Solas Award to inspirational individuals whose work resonates with our vision of building a society where all people are welcomed, valued, and enjoy equal opportunities and protections.
We are pleased to present the Solas Award to Des Mac Intyre, Chair and CEO of Mellon, Irish immigrant and long-time friend of Rian Immigrant Center; and philanthropists Atsuko and Larry Fish. The Fish Family Foundation has supported thousands of people along the path to citizenship and is providing emergency relief to immigrant families impacted by COVID-19.
Rian’s Courage award will be presented to Ngozi Okoye who Rian helped to obtain a green card, and begin a new life in the US. Ngozi is an immigrant from Nigeria who has shown tremendous courage by overcoming personal challenges, and fiercely advocating for her sick child as a single mother.
We need your help to continue serving the most vulnerable members of our community.
