Help Celebrate Adhikaar's 5th Anniversary

We are creating a committee of dedicated Adhikaar volunteers and friends to help us plan Adhikaar’s 5th Anniversary Celebration, Expressions for Justice, on Saturday, August 7, 2010. It will be an evening program with food, drinks, music, and dancing, and an opportunity to highlight our work – with the goal of raising funds to support Adhikaar’s growing programs.

Based on the success of last year’s event, we’ll be hosting the fundraiser again at the beautiful and historic, Judson Memorial Church at 55 Washing Square South, near West 4th Street. As always, it will be a free event – there will be no fee to enter, but everyone will be expected to make a contribution during the evening. We will try to raise as much funds as possible before the event through individual and business sponsorships. Last year, we raised $20,000. This year, with all of your support, we want to raise $50,000! Interested in helping us reach our goal? Please email us at volunteer@adhikaar.org - or call 718-937-1117.

We are requesting our 5th Anniversary Celebration Committee members to help us make the evening a spectacular one! In particular, we are requesting the committee members to the following:
-Attend monthly meetings to plan the event details
-Publicize the event among friends, family members, and others
-Sell raffle tickets prior to the event
-Recruit volunteers and take leadership during the event
-Work closely with Adhikaar staff/board/volunteers, and keep the group updated
-Make a contribution (in any amount) and help raise $250 or more from individuals and businesses – sponsorships, raffles, in-kind donations etc.

We are looking forward to working with you to organize a fantastic evening, and raise the much-needed funds to support Adhikaar’s work. If you cannot commit to being on the committee, we can still use your help on the day of the event, as well as before the event in procuring sponsorships and in-kind donations. Interested in creating an unforgettable evening? Please email us at volunteer@adhikaar.org - or call 718-937-1117.
