AIAIA Celebration Tickets
What A Year To Celebrate!
Your support enabled Arm in Arm to team with INMED to launch community gardens in Malungeni, our Eastern Cape home for more than two decades. We also expanded into Nieu Bethesda, a chronically impoverished community, to produce our initial crop of saffron in an arid region some 530 km west of Malungeni. These new Food Production programs emphasize community self-empowerment and sustainability.
Your contributions at our Summer Celebration will enable us to expand our core programming -- including Food Distribution, Healthcare, and Education -- in a country beset by the largest income gap between rich and poor in the world. Apartheid may have ended, but its impact continues to live on decades later.
Our celebration will include the latest news from Ed Luterbach, our Board Chair, and Unathi Sihlahla, Country Director of INMED and our right-hand partner in Food Production. Admission includes dinner from Las Enchiladas, the famed family restaurant in Lakeville, and all your beer, wine, soft drinks, and cider.
We'll have our largest Silent Auction ever, plus the music of Andrew Walesch, one of the Twin Cities' most beloved performers. Play our 'Split the Pot' raffle, and take home Patsy Ryan's handmade photo coasters featuring South African scenes.
