Becket is a non-profit organization dedicated to defending religious freedom for all. Each year, Becket hosts the Canterbury Medal Gala, an event where individuals committed to religious freedom come together to celebrate and honor advocates who have staunchly defended this fundamental right. The gala culminates in the presentation of the Canterbury Medal to a prominent figure in the public square who has demonstrated unwavering dedication to preserving religious liberty.

The medal is named after Thomas Becket, the Archbishop of Canterbury who valiantly defended the church's liberties and ultimately sacrificed his life in defense of religious freedom. The medal, commissioned from artist Karen Laub-Novak, features a symbolic chessboard, representing the struggle for religious liberty, and is inscribed with the words "For the Courage and Defense of Religious Liberty. " This prestigious black-tie event brings together renowned supporters and champions of religious freedom to pay tribute to modern-day advocates who embody the noble legacy of Thomas Becket.

The gala offers a platform for like-minded individuals to gather, celebrate, and reaffirm their commitment to protecting religious liberty. Becket's annual Canterbury Medal Gala truly embodies the courage and resilience of those who continue to defend the right to religious freedom in today's world
