Description

"Do not get lost in a sea of despair. Be hopeful, be optimistic. Our struggle is not the struggle of a day, a week, a month, or a year, it is the struggle of a lifetime. Never, ever be afraid to make some noise and get in good trouble, necessary trouble.”

John Lewis

 

 

Come show our local refugee community some love on Saturday, February 8th, from 2-4pm for a free, fun-filled, and informative fundraising event to create “good trouble” at this urgent moment and support Canopy NWA through a challenging time!

 

Write love letters to refugees who have recently made NWA their home, enjoy live music by Still on the Hill and Meadow Makers, and learn more from folks on the ground about how you can stand with this community.

 

We’ll have Afghan and Syrian snacks prepared by Inspired Hands (a local refugee-based business), a photo booth where you can express your support for Canopy and its clients with fun signs, a card-making station where you can write love letters to our refugee neighbors, and more! A variety of beverages will be available, including wine donated by Hotvine Wine Shop.

 

This is a fundraising event to collect donations for Canopy NWA's critical support of refugees in our region. We can handle all forms of payment – but cash or check are preferred. These donations are tax-deductible.

 

This is a FREE EVENT. Tickets are required for our planning purposes.

Can't make it or want to get a head start? Donate here. 

 

***PARKING INSTRUCTIONS***

This event takes place at Iron Lotus Creative, a photo/video studio in west Fayetteville. It’s the big red building on the corner of Mt. Comfort between Stone Chapel and Sunshine Rd. The entrance is in the back of the building from N. Sunshine Rd. through the red gates with Himalayan prayer flags. Parking is limited and carpooling is highly encouraged.

The Canopy team is committed to fulfill the promise made to each refugee family at the airport to ensure they are appropriately and safely settled. Canopy will help them get food, shelter, and medical care. But, in order to do this, we need your support NOW.
