On June 20, our community gathered at Play Faire Park for a memorable World Refugee Day celebration. The event featured an interactive mural, a mini golf fundraiser, and activities for all ages, showcasing the resilience and creativity of refugees. The mural, symbolizing hope and solidarity, will be displayed at the ArtWalk on July 11, 2024, at the Center for Contemporary Arts. The mini golf fundraiser highlighted refugee experiences while raising vital funds to support our programs. Thank you, Abilene, for your incredible support and making this day special! Together, we create a welcoming community for all.
