Esteemed community,

We hope you are well! We are writing to invite you to the Twin Ports Interfaith Fundraiser for Palestine on February 18th.

February 18, 2024 

4:30 PM: Doors Open

The fundraiser is organized by a coalition of Muslims, Jews, Christians, and other community members to spread awareness and raise money for the Palestinian Red Crescent. The Palestinian Red Crescent is part of the International Red Cross and is one of the few humanitarian organizations currently providing aid in Gaza. 

The fundraiser will feature an informational gallery on the conflict, dinner, and a presentation by Mariam El-Khatib. Mariam El-Khatib is a Palestinian-American who was born and raised in Minnesota. She is a Product Manager at LaunchGood and a volunteer member of the Minnesota chapter of American Muslims for Palestine, where she was previously the chapter lead.

Please join us as we turn our hearts to the people of Palestine and call for peace.

To attend the dinner-fundraiser featuring Palestinian food, please purchase dinner tickets for $55 here: bit.ly/interfaith-twin-ports. There is limited capacity for the dinner, so register soon! At 6 pm we will transition to the sanctuary for the presentation; people are welcome to only attend the presentation. There will be opportunities to donate at the event, and we encourage all to make a goodwill offering. For those who cannot attend but would still like to contribute, you can make a donation at the same link: bit.ly/interfaith-twin-ports. 

The sanctuary is wheelchair accessible and there will be vegetarian options for the dinner. First come first served childcare will be provided for up to 15 children; please sign up for childcare via bit.ly/interfaith-twin-ports.
