Party with a Purpose - June 25 5-7 p.m.

Please help us spread the word and join us for this month's
Party with a Purpose Wednesday June 25 at Dave & Busters.









The event is free and open to the public.

This month's party is focusing on raising awareness about the situation in Darfur.




Violence in the region has intensified. Rising food and fuel prices have slashed international food aid to Darfur. Banditry claims much of the aid that does make it through. Still, of the 17,000 additional peacekeepers promised in July 2007, only 2,100 have been deployed.The people of Darfur need peacekeepers now, not just to protect them from the murderous janjaweed, but also to safeguard efforts to deliver much-needed humanitarian aid.In addition to the free food, billiards and half price drinks at this party hosted by Dave & Busters -- there will be an opportunity for you to send a message to President Bush on behalf of the Save Darfur Coalition.

The Save Darfur Coalition is an alliance of over 180 faith-based, advocacy and human rights organizations whose mission is to raise public awareness about the ongoing genocide in Darfur and to mobilize a unified response to the atrocities that threaten the lives of more than two million people in the Darfur region.
