2023 Awards (Postponed Gala)
Since October 2023, we have been witnessing a genocide in Gaza. In solidarity with the people of Palestine, and out of respect, the Al Rashid Education Foundation Board of Directors made the decision to cancel the gala in November 2023. We intend on inviting all winners of the awards to the Gala in 2024 insha’Allah. May Allah bring justice to all those oppressed.
