Lamp for Haiti’s 20th Anniversary Gala and Silent Auction will be held on Friday, October 9, 2026, at Glen Ridge Country Club in Glen Ridge, New Jersey. The evening will bring together longtime supporters, community members, volunteers, board members and friends of Lamp to celebrate two decades of providing healthcare in Haiti.
The event will include a VIP reception from 6:30–7:00 PM, followed by the gala from 7:00–11:00 PM, with dinner, a silent auction, special presentations, a 50/50 raffle, recognition of honorees and an opportunity for guests to support Lamp’s continued work in Haiti.
More than a fundraising event, the gala is a celebration of the people and partnerships that have sustained Lamp for Haiti for 20 years—and an opportunity to help carry that work into the next twenty.
