CMP Gala
CMP Gala, held annually in late April, usually brings together over 400 distinguished guests for an inspiring evening of recognition, networking, and philanthropy. A highlight of this annual gala tradition is the Spirit of Immigrants Award, typically presented to a CMP former participant who embodies the relentless pursuit of the American dream.
