Celebrating Two Decades of Service
The anniversary gala is not only a fundraising effort but also a tribute to two decades of resilience and commitment. Lamp for Haiti recognizes the important contributions of its staff, volunteers, donors, corporate partners, and supporters who have made healthcare accessible to thousands in need.

The evening will include an elegant dinner, a silent auction, inspiring stories of impact, and entertainment, alongside a VIP reception for attendees to meet members of the Board of Trustees and special guests. Proceeds from the gala will support ongoing initiatives to provide compassionate healthcare and resources to those in the communities served by Lamp for Haiti.
Dr. Morgan stated, “This anniversary belongs to every patient, every volunteer, every healthcare professional, every donor, every sponsor, and every partner who has shown up alongside us over the past twenty years.” He emphasized the organization’s commitment to building a healthier future for generations to come.
