The 2022 Kundiman gala "Stars & the Ever After" was a magical evening of tarot readings, glittery cocktails, and—most importantly—joyful community. It was a gift gather with you in person and virtually to celebrate our incredible honorees, Lawrence-Minh Bùi Davis, Cathy Park Hong, and Ayesha Pande.

We're thrilled to announce that we raised a total of over $72,800 through sponsorships, ticket sales, donations, and auction items. We're so grateful to everyone who contributed to help us reach our goal. The funds raised will go toward general operating support to ensure that Kundiman's Retreat, online classes, and regional groups are able to best serve our community.

We're also happy to be able to share some photos from this wonderful night. You can check out a gallery of photos from the evening on our website.

As our honoree Ayesha Pande reminded us in her speech, "we need the authors that Kundiman supports to continue writing their stories—these stories saved me." We're so grateful to each and every one of you for your presence in this Kundiman community. We look forward to celebrating with you again soon!
