Penn for Gaza Fundraiser - Jan. 29

[PhillyActivists]

Hi All,
  
I'm not sure if you have heard or PASS' efforts to start 
our Campaign for Gaza, but we are having an event this 
Thursday at 7PM at Houston Hall of Flags (Penn's Campus - 
3417 Spruce Street - Ground floor). We will collect 
donations and present them to the Director of the United 
Palestinian Appeal, a certified charity by the independent 
charities of America that has been recognized for its 
humanitarian work in Gaza. Samer Badawi, the Director, was 
also featured on CNN on Jan 6th.

In light of the recent atrocities being witnessed in Gaza 
over the past weeks, the Penn Arab Student Society has

As part of the Penn for Gaza campaign, this fundraiser 
banquet will aim at raising money for the victims of Gaza. 
This banquet is open to the Penn community and 
Philadelphia community and will address the humanitarian 
aspect of the recent conflict. The money raised at this 
event will be donated to the United Palestinian Appeal, a 
certified charity by the Independent Charities of America.
  
The fundraiser will feature speakers from the Penn Arab 
Student Society, Penn for Palestine and the director of 
the United Palestinian Appeal, Samer Badawi who was 
featured on CNN on January the 6th. There will also be 
several performances throughout the night.
  
Free dinner will be provided at this event, and we do 
encourage a minimum donation of $10 for this fundraiser. 
We will be collecting your donations throughout the 
evening.
  
Hope to see you there!
