January 26, 2025 - Benefit Dinner for Gaza
 
Join PYM Houston for a memorable night on Sunday, January 26th at our Ta'ziz al-Sumud fundraiser dinner for Gaza at the Arab American Cultural Center.
 
As the Palestinian and Arab diaspora, and supporters of Palestine, we have the honor and duty to sustain and nurture the sumud (steadfastness) of our people. This event is part of the International Fundraiser to raise $1 million for the relief efforts of the Middle Eastern Children Alliance who provide shelter, food, clean water, medical aid, psychological care, and children's programming in Gaza.
 
We will gather as a community for cultural performances, an art auction, children activities, and more. Whether you can attend, pledge proceeds, or spread the word of the fundraiser, each and every one of us plays a role in strengthening the resilience of the Palestinian people in the face of genocide.

Date: Sunday, January 26, 2025
Time: 5:00 PM - 9:00 PM
Location: Arab American Cultural & Community Center - 10555 Stancliff Rd, Houston
