Our 30th Anniversary Gala

What a wonderful celebration it was! On 16 May, we celebrated our 30th anniversary with a festive gala dinner in the ballroom of the Radisson Iveria Blu Hotel Tbilisi. In addition to numerous IWA members, many friends and guests were in attendance and clearly enjoyed the gala evening.
We began the gala evening with a cocktail reception, accompanied by a classical quartet. At 7.30 pm sharp, the doors to the ballroom opened and the festive dinner featuring Georgian delicacies began. The founder of IWA Georgia, Nana Dvali, and the current president, Maria del Carmen Fischer, hosted the evening and provided an insight into the history and charitable work of IWAG.
The programme was enlivened by the pupils of the Vakhtang Chabukiani Tbilisi Ballet School and the dancers of the Stylized Folk Theatre “Nabadi” with the Samaia Dance. The IWA Choir also ensured a great atmosphere with their lively songs. The official programme of the gala evening concluded with a birthday cake, which was ceremoniously cut. Finally, DJ Lana provided some really great beats and the gala guests danced until midnight.
However, our gala dinner evening was not just about celebrating, dining and dancing. A silent auction was also held, the proceeds of which will go entirely to the IWA Georgia charity project. Many thanks to all the sponsors and artists who made the silent auction possible with their prizes and works of art. Our thanks also go to everyone who took part in the auction and made a bid.
Finally, we mustn’t forget the sponsors of our gala and the organisers of IWA Georgia: you made this magnificent evening possible. For that, we say a heartfelt thank you!
