Summer Social 2026 will be held at recess grove, a creative community space based in Williamsburg, Brooklyn that offers workshops across a plethora of artistic media including wood-working, painting, sewing, gardening, candle-wax sculpting, and more!
About Geraldine Acuña-Sunshine
The Geraldine Acuña-Sunshine Young Leaders Now Awards Dinner is an annual celebration of leaders in the social impact space featuring a cocktail hour followed by an elegant seated dinner with remarks from our honorees, Resolution Fellows, and Enactus students/alumni.
Every year, Resolution celebrates one social entrepreneur with the Geraldine Acuña-Sunshine Young Leaders Now Award, one industry leader with The Champions Circle Award for Supporting Young Leaders, and one or two community members with The Founders Award for Extraordinary Service for their contributions to youth leadership and positive social impact.
The event’s namesake, Geraldine Acuña-Sunshine, is a global leader in philanthropy and business, whose impact crosses sectors, geographies, and subjects seamlessly. She is President and Board Chair of the Sunshine Care Foundation, an organization based in Asia and primarily dedicated to promoting youth education, humanitarian relief, and scientific research in neurodegenerative diseases. We are deeply honored to have Geraldine as one of the original members of Resolution’s Board of Directors and to have recognized her as the 2016 Young Leaders Now Award recipient.
Resolve Gala
Resolve, first hosted in 2010, was created to celebrate the achievements of our Fellows through an engaging and vibrant setting. While this tradition has transformed into new events and practices, the event historically accentuated the impact of our global community through interactive art installations designed in collaboration with Fellows to directly showcase their work and connection with our Fellows around the world and other leaders from business, social enterprise, tech, law, medicine, finance, and philanthropy.
