Why This Night Matters

ATFL’s Annual Gala Dinner brings together leaders from government, business, diplomacy, and the Lebanese American community to celebrate our shared commitment to a strong and enduring US-Lebanon relationship. The evening honors those whose leadership and service have strengthened the bonds between our two nations and advanced the values of stability, prosperity, and partnership.

More than a celebration, the Gala is vital to sustaining ATFL’s mission. Funds raised through this event directly support ATFL’s policy, education, and outreach initiatives, ensuring that Lebanon’s future remains a priority in Washington. Your participation helps ATFL engage decision-makers, inform public discourse, and foster collaboration that benefits both Lebanon and the United States.

Together, we continue to build on decades of progress toward a stable, sovereign, and prosperous Lebanon – and to ensure that this important work endures for generations to come.
