World Refugee Day 2019 a Huge Success!
We had over 500 people attend the World Refugee Day 2019 on June 15th at Nevada Park from 11am - 3pm. Thanks to all those who attended, sponsored, presented and entertained. We had a great time. We raised over $15,000 from our sponsors to make this event possible. We'd like to thank those Federal State and local government officials who shared! It was a great day for refugees in Spokane to share their contributions with the community. We honored six refugee women.
The stories Chris Maccini recorded at the "Voices of Hope" event were on Spokane Public Radio's Inland Journal podcast today. You'll be able to find and listen to the story online here: https://www.spokanepublicradio.org/programs/inland-journal. It posted at noon today.
We have been the recent awardee for several grants and would like to share our gratitude to Spokane County United Way, Smith-Barbieri Progressive Fund, Philanthropy Northwest, Hemmingson Philanthropy and Innovia Foundation for helping fund our Refugee Kids Connect Program and Census 2020 Outreach.
