Story

“The Sparkle Gala by EMIR stands as a testament to unity and a shared vision to help others in need. In partnership with EMIR, we’ve crafted an evening not just of elegance and entertainment, but of purpose and generosity. It’s a night where hearts unite, with every meal, melody, and auction bid sowing the seeds of change in the world.”

Sarah Brook, CEO and Founder of The Sparkle Foundation

A meeting point of vision and mission, The Sparkle Gala by EMIR will take place on 8 December 2023 at Armani Hotel Dubai. Under the patronage of HH Sheikh Nahyan bin Mubarak Al Nahyan, the UAE's Minister of Tolerance and Coexistence, this year’s gala will unite opinion leaders, intellectuals, business owners, and philanthropists from across the UAE for a common cause - to help better the lives of children.

The Sparkle Gala by EMIR, a partnership between The Sparkle Foundation and Emerging Markets Intelligence & Research (EMIR), a leading boutique advisory and research firm, aims to raise AED 1,000,000 from this year’s gala to save lives and create a positive impact for over 5,000 children in Malawi.

Donate directly to our fundraising page or place a bid on one of our many amazing silent auction prizes - every dirham counts! Join us in our aim to replicate our Sparkle model once again, as we strive to create brighter futures for more children and communities in Malawi!
