This night is an opportunity for us to gather, lean on one another, and connect with our roots. We believe in the healing power of words and in the strength of community.
All proceeds fundraised at this event will be split evenly between two incredible organizations, providing much-needed relief to Palestinian and Lebanese communities.
Road to Freedom is a non-profit charity dedicated to providing displaced invididuals fleeing war-torn countries with immediate aid and long-term support. Through their efforts, they aim to restore dignity and stability to those affected by conflict.
The Development Movement is a self-organized grassroots group of graduate students, professors, and agricultural practitioners in Lebanon. They establish community kitchens in shelters, empowering displaced families to cook their own meals and regain a sense of normalcy. The group also collaborates with local farmers when possible to secure ingredients and create community gardens near shelters, fostering resilience and sustainability.
RSVP is offered with a suggested contribution of $10 per ticket—but please give what you can. Every bit counts and all are welcome. ❤️
If you are unable to attend the event but would still like to donate (or if you’d like to contribute more than the $10 entry!), please Venmo one of our co-hosts, Citrine Ghraowi (@Citrine-Ghraowi) all donations. All receipts will be provided following the event.
