2025 Champions of Choice
ABOUT CHAMPIONS OF CHOICE
The annual Champions of Choice gala supports the National Institute for Reproductive Health and its Action Fund, and our work in cities and states nationwide to advance just and equitable reproductive freedom. This year, NIRH and NIRH AF is taking it from day to night with an evening event where we’ll come together to honor those who do work on the ground, who speak up and speak out, as well as those who support the movement philanthropically — all to protect and advance reproductive health, rights, and justice.
