Join the Shriver Center as we mark our 40th Anniversary at this year’s Annual Awards Dinner

There are over 37 million Americans living the State of Poverty any given day. The fight against poverty is not only about achieving equal opportunity for all; it is about taking responsibility in making this a reality. Given the choice, any and all of us would eliminate poverty in the United States.

We know that you care—and so does the Shriver Center.

Now in its 40th year, the Shriver Center shows it cares by advancing social and economic justice in the United States through the use of law, policy, and publications. Join us as we celebrate our past accomplishments and look forward to the future of antipoverty advocacy.

The 2007 Awards Dinner will be an inspiring evening that gives attention to the fight against poverty and celebrates each of our contributions to eliminating poverty in the United States. As the Shriver Center marks its 40th anniversary, we salute the hundreds of thousands of Americans with whom we have worked and who have given us hope and support in taking action to end poverty in the United States.
