We are filling an empty plane with school supplies to send off to students in Iraq and we need your support! Every little bit counts...
Consider:
$5 buys 50 ballpoint pens
$10 buys 6 brand new notebooks
$20 buys 288 pencils
You can also bring your donations in person to the benefit concert friendraiser happening in Williamsburg, Brooklyn on Saturday, Oct 16th!
With your donations, October can be the month where we truly see change in the air...
