Bake sale 3/18/14

Asalama Alaikum wa Rahmatullahi wa Barakaatuhu,

Today we had an amazing Bake Sale, with delicious goodies, to help raise money for  Palestinian orphans! We had many different Palestinian foods and cupcakes to form a Palestinian flag. With the money raised today, we sponsored three orphans.  People donated extremely generously! Jazakallah Khairun to everybody who could make it today!

99 Orphans at the CAIR Banquet

Asalama Alaikum wa Rahmatullahi wa Barakaatuhu,

We are happy to announce that a number of our members at the 99 Orphans have hosted a stand to raise awareness for our cause at the 8th Annual Gala Banquet by CAIR-Philadelphia! Last Saturday, on the 15th of March, we hosted a table, informing numerous people about our cause, and got to stand in front of Muslim leaders like Zaid Shakir and Azhar Usman.

Currently, the Events Committee has organized the general organization and job layout for the bake sale tomorrow, and we are planning out all of the events we plan to host in the future. I want to personally say thank you to all of the people who helped us out last year, and made 99 Orphans 2013 a true success. Inshallah, we hope that this year we go above and beyond the last, and raise even more money to sponsor orphans!

Inshallah we will be hosting our first bake sale on Tuesday March 18, 2014 at the ZF Center, starting at 6:30 pm. The bake sale is hosted towards helping the orphans in Palestine.

6 Orphans and Counting!

From the Management Committee

The 99 Orphan team members are excitedly getting into the spirit of raising money for our orphans.  Alhamdulillah, we have already raised enough for 6 of our orphans!! 

During our second official meeting of the year yesterday, we discussed our strategies and mainly planned for our bake sale on March 18th.  We are thoroughly excited to see how much we can raise for our Palestinian orphans next Tuesday, even though we are cooking for the bake sale.  (Aren't you excited to find out what the 99 Orphan team members can come up with in the kitchen?) 

One important part of our meeting was determining days of the week for the various committees to write on the site.  A representative from each committee will report what his/her committee has been doing each week.  Follow our website to get a taste of different perspectives of what it's like being in the orphan project.  Every committee is in charge of doing something different so you'll see lots of variety in the coming days, insha Allah. 

Stay tuned to find out more and don't forget to help our orphans!
