The Universal Promise Gala at Glen Manor House in Portsmouth, Rhode Island, is an annual event that strikes a unique mix of positive energy, generosity, and a commitment to global responsibility and the education of children, no matter where they live. Founded in 2011, Universal Promise is a Rhode Island nonprofit that funds education to achieve and sustain equity in rural South Africa. Each year the gathering features delicious hors d’oeuvres, a signature cocktail, wine, beer, and an array of non-alcoholic beverages, as well as music, dancing, auction items, a re-cap of the year’s achievements, and specific, meaningful goals for the night: anything from building a computer lab and a playground to renovating classrooms, funding school uniforms and shoes, and offering student leadership camps and professional development. We hope you will join us, either as longstanding supporters or as newcomers, to inspire sustainable change that evolves from the ground UP and not the bottom down. Thank you! We hope to see you there!
