2018 Annual Awards Celebration
On October 30, some 500 friends, supporters and guests of International Medical Corps gathered in Los Angeles to celebrate our lifesaving work and highlight the courageous work of our field staff around the world. Through the generosity of those who attended, we raised more than $1 million to support that work. And because every unrestricted dollar contributed generates more than $30 on average in additional grants from institutional donors and donated medicines and supplies, the actual impact of those donations is far greater.
