About this Event
We invite you to the annual fundraiser of Beirut and Beyond, benefiting Palestinian initiatives in refugee camps in Lebanon and Jordan.
Experience Palestinian food, an online auction with Middle Eastern treats, belly dancing, and learn about the impactful work of Palestinians in refugee camps. And, above all, discover how YOU can support them!
We will start the night with Middle Eastern appetizers before a traditional Palestinian dinner of Maqoolbah. Lebanese wine and beer will be flowing! Phoencian Kabob is providing all of the food and wine! Mayssa will be performing and we have live bidding during our silent auction.
Beirut and Beyond aims to raise $70,000 for emergency services, a recycling center, and cooking classes in Palestinian refugee camps in Beirut, Lebanon. In Jordan, we partner with the only library in the Gaza camp and provide employment for a young Palestinian woman as a librarian.
Take a look at the items available for the online silent auction from the Middle East on GIVE BUTTER. (Coming SOON!)
Join us to celebrate and SUPPORT the work of Palestinian refugees!
