I am in Kansas City for the next two weeks. The fall here is so familiar. It immediately puts me at the bus stop after eating a few of my mom's homemade tortillas with jelly, sac lunch in hand.
HALO is hosting 4 events here in the next week, all with different circles of people and each geared toward the same thing - raising awareness and involvement in our mission.
The first is tonight and its called "Females in Flight", to be held in downtown KC at Mildred's. Our Program Director, Lacy Voight and Art Director Kyla DeTienne have gotten female artists and crafters together to donate fabulous art items that will be sold, proceeds benefiting HALO supported girls in Uganda. Join us, read more here.
The second and third are cocktail parties, to be held at the homes of HALO supporters. These events are geared toward raising awareness about the "HALO HERO" campaign, which is truly a great opportunity to give. Once a donor signs up to be a HALO HERO, supporting basic needs of HALO kids, Woodland Charities donates $1,000 to provide a vocational scholarship for a child. Breaking. The. Cycle. More info about HALO HERO.
The fourth event is Sat., October 9th. It is a very popular event for HALO and is the 5th Anniversary event. The BOARDBREAKATHON. This event was the first ever for HALO, started by a group of kids and has raised over $100,000 for children in need. Read more here: BOARDBREAKATHON
There is something for everyone this week. It is exciting to see so many doing so much for the children of HALO. It only takes using your passions, your connections, reaching out to make a big difference.
