About this event

Still We Rise: An Evening of Resilience, Hope, and the Road Ahead  honors the strength of the individuals and communities we serve, the hope that propels progress, and the shared responsibility we carry as we move forward together.

RECOGNIZING A DECADE OF SERVICE AS NORTHERN NEVADA’S ONLY RESETTLEMENT AGENCY

We invite you to consider sponsoring Still We Rise: An Evening of Resilience, Hope, and the Road Ahead, an inspiring gathering that brings together community leaders, partners, and advocates committed to building a more inclusive Northern Nevada.

The evening will feature a thoughtfully curated dinner, compelling performances, and powerful stories of perseverance and possibility, alongside live and silent auctions supporting NNIC’s work with lasting, measurable impact. The event marks 10 years of NNIC serving as a refugee resettlement agency in Northern Nevada- a decade of building pathways to safety, belonging, and opportunity. Your sponsorship directly advances NNIC’s mission to foster global engagement through international exchanges, refugee resettlement, and language access services.

We are particularly honored to welcome Michele Sumilas, National Engagement Director of the U.S. Global Leadership Coalition, as this year’s keynote speaker. The Coalition is a bipartisan network of more than 500 businesses, nonprofits, and leaders across all 50 states advocating for strategic investments in diplomacy and international assistance alongside defense to strengthen U.S. leadership and advance national interests.

We hope you are able to join us as we rise together and invest in our efforts to create a more inclusive and welcoming future.
