Solas Awards

The Annual Solas Awards are a time-honored and anticipated celebration of community and welcoming. Meaning “Light” in Gaelic, The Solas Awards shine a light on the inspiring contributions and achievements of immigrants.

We invite you on March 14th at the historic Reading Terminal Market for a night of music, food, and networking. Each year, The Solas Award is given in recognition of individuals making extraordinary contributions in service to their community.

2024 Honorees:
Shirin Karsan – The Solas Award
Amina Aliako – Anne O’Callaghan Award
 
Join us as we honor these two incredible women leaders and celebrate the invaluable contributions of immigrants in our communities.
