Orphans from different regions of Eastern Europe face daunting challenges at a very early age. The pain of abandonment and lack of proper education can easily lead them down a path mired in danger and cyclical poverty. Join us and bring colorful hope back in their lives! Allies in Youth Development (AIYD) is inviting everyone to this year’s Color Their World banquet.

The annual event, which has also been touted as the organization’s largest yearly fundraiser, will be held at the Walnut Ridge Baptist Church in Mansfield on Sunday, September 23, opening with a silent auction at 5:30 P.M. Attendees can also look forward to a scrumptious dinner, a separate live auction, and a short program. An opportunity to give will be provided.

All proceeds will be used to finance Allies’ various socio-civic initiatives in various parts of Eastern Europe, including Moldova, South Ossetia, Omsk and Maykop, to name a few. Allies continuously aims to empower volunteer in-country mentors, encouraging them to provide emotional support and spiritual guidance to orphans through regular educational and fellowship activities. Through this year’s banquet gifts and the unceasing generosity of friends and partners, Allies is confident that more significant milestones will be achieved, and that more youth participants and orphans will be reached in the coming years.

Be part of this year’s Color Their World banquet and help us bring hope to more children in need. For inquiries, RSVPs and table hosting, please email simmie@alliesyouth.org or call 817-542-2897.
