Kicking off the 2020 Virtual Blue Marble Bash!

Welcome to the Blue Marble Bash!

All of us have been impacted by the uncertainty and fear caused by this global pandemic – the effects touch individuals, businesses, and organizations in every corner of the globe. Our hearts are with everyone who is suffering at this time.  

Amidst so much fear and frustration, one thing is clear. No one person, or one nation, is going to solve this problem on its own – it's going to take all of us. This is why we believe in our work at FIUTS. It feels more important than ever to equip future generations of leaders to find common ground and to come together in the face of this and future crises because we’re all in this together.  

We’re excited to celebrate the optimism and impact of the FIUTS community with you in this virtual way.  There are several ways to take part. Bid on an item in the silent auction. Browse our virtual tables – each one tells a story of our work and our community. Make a gift to take a virtual seat at the one you feel most connected to. And take some time to look at the videos and blog features we share each day of the online event. It all ends at 5pm – Seattle time - on Friday, April 24th. 

Even though we cannot gather in person, it’s wonderful to see supporters from around the world coming together to ensure FIUTS emerges from this stronger than ever.  Thank you for being a part of our work to advance international understanding, civic engagement, and citizen diplomacy.
