IRG strives to promote education and understanding through fact-based presentations and nuanced dialogue about Islam and the Muslim community. We serve schools, houses of worship, and professional organizations committed to the idea that our communities are better together not despite our differences, but because of them. We look forward to you joining us for this celebration of people who make this bridge-building work possible every day. Thank you for your support.
A special thank you to all of our sponsors. This event is made possible with your support, and we look forward to continuing our partnership with you in the future.
