Impact Awards

Portrait of a woman, centered in frame, who is wearing a light blue long-sleeved outfit and a dark blue hair covering. She is smiling and her hands are raised to shift her hair covering.

All around the world, no matter where we live, no matter the challenges and triumphs we face every day, no matter our backgrounds or experiences, there is one that connects us all – our heartbeat.

Through all the changes and crises we face as a global community, we at CARE continue to have hope. Women and men continue to seek a better life, and our staff around the world continue to take action to help others, person to person, heartbeat to heartbeat.

At the 2023 Impact Awards, we want to celebrate our drumbeat of life, creating excitement, shared experiences, and an unforgettable night.
