Dear friends of Palestine,
WRFP is overjoyed to partner with Peggy Weber & Friends to bring this unique evening to Waterloo Region. Together we celebrate the culture and resistance through song and music, while fundraising for families in Gaza.
Tax-deductible Donations via MCC at St. Jacobs Benefit Concert for Children in Gaza June25 | Mennonite Central Committee
Already over $2,100 raised online alone! Thank you to the many that have given even if cannot attend event.
WRFP is very happy to be hosting For the Children of Gaza, a fundraising concert on Thursday, June 25 at 7:00 p.m. at St. Jacobs Mennonite Church.
The evening features Peggy Weber & Friends joined by Palestinian singers. Peggy brings together an eclectic group of 15 well-known local musicians to make glorious music from heartfelt folk, blues, gospel harmonies, classic singalongs, to soulful acoustic performances. With a presentation and conversation with Robert Massoud, long-time Canadian-Palestinian activist and co-founder of WRFP.
This unforgettable evening of music will raise funds for the children of Gaza. Although the destruction of Gaza is not in the news now, the children still live in rubble and tents and are in greater need of emergency support than ever. All donations are tax-deductible through Mennonite Central Committee and directed toward emergency aid for Gaza children and families, including food assistance, warm clothing, and mental health support programs.
For people who cannot attend the event to donate, there is a webpage to accept tax-deductible donations online – already has received $2,100 towards the overall goal of $12,000.
It promises to be an unforgettable evening of inspiring music to bring people together and make a difference in the lives of Gaza’s children.
The event is Free – no registration required. Come as you are, bring your heart, and make community for a unique and inspiring evening. All ages and all nations welcome!
