About This Event

Savor a night at home while supporting Friendship Bridge’s mission at our 2025 Stay-At-Home Building Bridges Gala!

At this special annual event, you’ll get access to new video content about our programs, a front seat to our online auction, and exclusive handmade artisan items. Come together with supporters all over the world to celebrate the empowerment of women in Guatemala!

This year’s Gala, themed A Force of Nature, aligns with the 2025 International Women’s Day focus on Accelerating Action. Friendship Bridge’s clients are dynamic women who embody the unstoppable energy of nature itself. Like forces of nature, they are catalysts for growth and transformation, capable of shaping the world around them.

The vibrant Resplendent Quetzal, Guatemala’s national bird, serves as a powerful symbol for this year’s Gala. The soaring Quetzal represents freedom, beauty, and potential—just like the spirit of the women we serve. 

This year’s virtual Gala will feature inspiring videos, a selection of exclusive artisan products from our Handmade by Friendship Bridge® clients, and an exciting online auction open to all. We invite you to join us in celebrating the sheer transformative power of the fierce and dynamic clients we serve.

As an international community, Friendship Bridge offers this Gala as a way to bring together individuals in their local community while simultaneously connecting people around the world. By attending our gala, you are supporting Friendship Bridge and our mission to create opportunities that empower Guatemalan women to build a better life through microcredit, health services, and education.
