2017 Gala Fundraiser
We are so grateful to report that we exceeded our goal of raising $6000 at the fundraiser. This, plus related donations, funded full scholarships for 15 girls plus the construction of 20 bunk beds, 40 small armoires, and 20 desks and chairs for them. Thank you for your abundant generosity!
