November 15 and 16 at St. Joan of Arc

Be sure to join us at St. Joan of Arc to celebrate Arm in Arm in Africa on Saturday and Sunday, Novovember 15 and 16. Fr. Jim Cassidy and Board Chair Ed Luterbach will share the latest AIAIA news in the gym Masses on Sunday at 9:00 a.m. and 11:00 a.m. Executive Director Pat Dawson will speak at the 5:00 pm Mass on Saturday. Funds raised at special collections that weekend kick off Arm in Arm’s Fall Campaign, critical to determining whether or not the organization makes its budget for the fiscal year of 2025.

Thank you for your support of our organization, which is dependent totally on individual’s gifts and receives no government support.

Help AIAIA Earn A $10,000 Matching Pledge!

We're excited to share that a generous donor has pledged $10,000 in an effort to help attract new donors to Arm in Arm in Africa.

Here's how the donor match works: Any gift from a new donor -- beginning Sunday, November 15 -- will be matched up to $10,000 in total new donor giving, through the end of our Fall campaign on December 31 or until the match is reached prior to that date. This is a great time to introduce AIAIA to a friend or relative who you think would share your passion for our work.

The new donor can mail a check, or give online at aiaia.org/donate, or direct their broker to send a contribution from a DAF (Donor Advised Fund) or other type of fund. Mailed donations should be addressed to Arm in Arm in Africa, P.O. Box 3425, Minneapolis, MN 55403.

Summer Event News

Thanks to all for their support of our summer fundraiser. We came within $1,100 of reaching our goal. Your support during our Fall campaign will determine whether or not we make our budget projections for 2025. Thank you for considering Arm in Arm in your giving.
