Virtual Fundraiser
So excited to invite you to participate in the 20th anniversary of Arm in Arm in Africa, a cause you know to be close to my heart. On Saturday, July 18 -- the day that honors Nelson Mandela internationally -- we're presenting "Arm in Arm in Action," a one-hour virtual fundraiser that tells our story and brings together entertainers from both countries in a show designed for the whole family.
It's not only our anniversary, it's a critical time in our work. COVID-19 is ramping up in South Africa and, coupled with the economic hardship it brings, is making life in the townships all the more challenging. Our goal is to raise $100,000 and double our food distribution. Four times a year, Arm in Arm buys food from local retailers and distributes parcels that feed a family of four for more than a month. The families are selected by their neighbors as the most in need and our Directors on the ground oversee distribution to ensure the food goes directly to those families.
You can click here to learn all the details about our celebration. Please consider joining a team of supporters. You'll find us listed here and can add your name and pledge. Then gather your family and friends and join us at 12 Noon CDT on the 18th.
Thank you from the bottom of our hearts for your interest and support.
Jim Cassidy, President
And the entire Board of Arm In Arm In Africa
