Resolve Gala
Purchase your ticket for the 12th annual Resolve Gala happening Wednesday, June 12, 2024, at the Altman Building in Chelsea, New York.
This year’s gala is sure to be an evening of entertainment, community, and impact. At Resolve, you will:
- Meet Resolution Fellows from around the world and learn about their social ventures
- Connect with 300+ leaders from business, social enterprise, tech, law, medicine, finance, and philanthropy
- Bid on auction items, including exciting experiences and luxury items
- Dance the night away with Grammy Award-winning rapper, Lupe Fiasco, our musical guest!
Since 2010, Resolve has functioned as a vibrant celebration of the achievements of our Fellows. The evening centers around the impact of our global community and features cuisine from cultures around the world, as well as interactive art installations designed in collaboration with Fellows that directly showcase their impactful work.
In 2023, our art installations were crafted by Christian Van Kipp and Gustavo Gonzalez and featured 5 incredible ventures: CAPNOS, Fipie, MUSHECO Farm, Mwangaza Cancer Initiative, and PDT Food Collective.

Every year, Resolution celebrates one social entrepreneur with the Geraldine Acuña-Sunshine Young Leaders Now Award and one industry leader with The Champions Circle Award for Supporting Young Leaders at the Geraldine Acuña-Sunshine Young Leaders Now Award Dinner.
