On November 6, 2025, Aurora will host this milestone gathering on Ellis Island to honor extraordinary humanitarians who risk their lives to save others. Founded in 2015 in gratitude to the saviors of Armenian Genocide survivors, Aurora has since supported over 3.54 million people in 63 countries through 516 humanitarian projects addressing urgent needs such as emergency relief, medical care, and education.
This year’s event will bring together global philanthropists, grassroots humanitarians, and influential changemakers to celebrate courage, commitment, and the enduring legacy of philanthropy. Co-Chairs include Noubar Afeyan, Dr. Eric Esrailian, Alice Greenwald, and Dame Louise Richardson.
