Kids Play International's first annual East Coast fundraiser will take place at the luxurious 48 Lounge on September 24th. This stellar location will set the mood for an evening celebrating and supporting KPI's Let's Play! and Girls Dream Big programs.
Here's the quick little dish about these two great programs:
Let's Play! is a community sports education program in Gatagara, Rwanda. We currently have an outstanding program director and several local coaches leading over 300 children through the after-school program.
Girls Dream Big is a scholarship program that helps identity girls who are in need of funding to continue or finish their schooling, while empowering and supporting them through sports.
The Juicy Goodness
This is a chance for us all to get together, learn about and support a very special organization, and even rub shoulders with some Olympians! If you have yet to visit Rwanda or Malawi with KPI, this is also the perfect opportunity to chat with the volunteers and athlete ambassadors who have first-hand experience. Maybe by next year, you'll be sharing your own KPI volunteer trip experience!
I Need My Ticket!
We make things eazy-peazy. You can purchase your tickets online here for $30 or $40 at the door (ticket receipt is required at door).
Even if you happen to be galavanting around the world, we still whole-heartedly appreciate your support. If you'd like to donate (believe it or not, $25 sends a Rwanda child to primary school for one year), please peruse here.
Don't Forget to Bring Your Bidding Paddle
Just kidding, we won't be doing live bidding (that get's wild!). But you're still in luck, we'll be hosting a packed silent auction. With all these professional athletes that KPI is involved with, my guess is that there will be some pretty hot and unique items available. Happy bidding!
