Save the Date: impACT26
Our biggest night of the year! Saturday, November 7, 2026, Manhattan Beach, CA
“I feel a big responsibility towards iACT’s future in order to make [iACT founder Gabriel’s] vision continue. And not only me, there are thousands of people iACT saved their lives and helped them. They created a football team and built preschools, sports academies and the positive thing is they appointed only the refugees as employees in all these programs and livelihood projects, too so that they are refugee-led.”
