Due to the Covid-19 crisis, we have cancelled the public version of our April 25th Fundraiser Extravaganza and moved it to a “Facebook Live” format at the same date and time.

During these challenging times we remain committed to raising $18,000 for our scholarship students in the Twin Cities, the Dominican Republic, Kenya and Liberia, and our small business partnerships in Kenya and Liberia. If you were planning on attending the event, will you consider donating the amount you planned to spend on tickets and auction items?
