Party: Children in Gaza: A Benefit

Let's gather together on for a night of music, comedy, dance (and more!), to raise money for children in Gaza (all proceeds going to support UNICEF's work in Gaza; see below for more information).

Cover by minimum donation of only *$20!
All proceeds going to support UNICEF's efforts in Gaza.

Tickets are available in advance, and some will be available at the door as well - come early to guarantee a spot!

Tax receipts are available for donations both on Eventbrite and through donating directly to the UNICEF fundraising page for this event. Keep in mind, Eventbrite charges significant service fees for larger amounts, so if you would like to buy tickets AND also donate more, it is recommended to buy tickets through Eventbrite and then donate through the fundraising page separately (this would provide you with two seperate tax receipts).

"UNICEF is responding to the urgent needs of children in Gaza*. Countless innocent young lives have been lost or broken amid the current spiraling violence. Children are also under profound stress with nearly 400,000 of them are in need of specialized support.

* UNICEF's mandate is to provide direct assistance to children who live in areas of the world with low human development indicators. Gaza meets these criteria and UNICEF has operated in the area since the early 1990s. Israel has so far provided adequate support to Israeli children through Israeli public services and civil society. In Israel, UNICEF has an active National Committee that advocates for child rights and raises funds for UNICEF’s work worldwide."
