Indego Africa's 2025 Gala

Join us as we bring together supporters, partners, and philanthropists for an inspiring evening of storytelling, impact, optimism and action.
This year’s event will be hosted by our partners at Riverpark, an elevated restaurant inspired by local and sustainable ingredients with an expansive view of the East River. Weather permitting, cocktail hour will take place on their seasonal terrace.
