PASTORALIST CHILD FOUNDATION ANNUAL FUNDRAISING PARTY

Pastoralist Child Foundation (PCF) is hosting a fundraising party on Friday, October 25, 2019 at the Glen Ridge Country Club in Glen Ridge, NJ starting at 6:30PM. Our “Kenya Dig It!” event guests will enjoy an evening of delicious food (see menu below), beverages (cash bar), silent auction, live auction, Kenyan dance presentation, and a lovely gift bag that includes handcrafted beaded Maasai jewelry to take home. Our Co-founder, Samuel Siriria Leadismo is coming from Kenya to join us!

Our goal is to raise $40,000 to continue providing important programs in 2020. We facilitate workshops that teach sexual & reproductive health education, women's economic empowerment, and life skills that result in educated and self-sufficient communities. We train change agents and youth ambassadors to sustain our education and advocacy efforts. Our focus on the importance of girl’s education has led to an increase in school enrollment and the construction of a new girls’ secondary school in Samburu.

The elephants are running to our event! Please join us too! We look forward to greeting you and thanking you for your support of our organization. We're going to have a grooovy time! Dress is casual.
