Finding Refuge Together: RefugePoint’s 20th Anniversary Gala Brings Art, Activism, and Global Change to Boston
RefugePoint has announced an extraordinary lineup for its 20th Anniversary Gala, Finding Refuge Together, taking place on Tuesday, October 14, 2025, at the Museum of Fine Arts, Boston. The black-tie celebration will unite leaders, artists, and humanitarians for an unforgettable evening blending art, activism, and impact.
Headlining the event are award-winning actor Don Cheadle and Nobel Peace Prize Laureate Nadia Murad, both of whom will receive the Champion of Change Award for their global contributions to justice and human rights. The evening will be hosted by comedian and actor Anthony Anderson, setting the stage for a powerful dialogue between two figures who have dedicated their lives to confronting oppression and creating pathways for hope.
Honoring Courage and Commitment
Nadia Murad, a survivor of the Yazidi genocide, has become one of the world’s leading voices for survivors of sexual violence and persecuted communities. Don Cheadle, acclaimed for his acting and activism, has long championed humanitarian causes, from advocating to end genocide in Darfur to serving as a UN Goodwill Ambassador for the Environment. He is also co-author of Not on Our Watch, a call to action for global responsibility.
A Night of Global Connection
Guests will experience live performances from Deo Mwano, Arson Fahim, the Wula Drum & Dance Ensemble, and DJ Val Fleury, alongside a globally inspired dine-around reception and a live auction of once-in-a-lifetime experiences.
The gala will also honor Barrie Landry, Isabel Allende, and Goodwin for their exceptional dedication to refugee advocacy and humanitarian impact.
As RefugePoint celebrates two decades of partnership with refugees, this milestone event highlights both the remarkable progress achieved and the work still ahead to ensure safety, opportunity, and dignity for displaced people worldwide.
Founded and led by Sasha Chanoff, RefugePoint is a humanitarian organization that finds lasting solutions for the world’s most at-risk refugees and supports the humanitarian community to do the same. Over the past two decades, RefugePoint has helped reshape how the world approaches refugee resettlement, self-reliance, and long-term stability.
