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
