A Fundraiser for Community, Culture, and Connection May 2, 2026 | 5–8 PM YWCA Friendship Hall
This fundraiser brings together local artists, live music, and community to raise critical funds for programs serving immigrant and multicultural families.
In 2025, MSCSS served 85 students across 26,000+ hours of learning through consistent, community-based classes.
This year, we’re expanding access—supporting more students through additional class hours, teaching time, and resources.
Your support is especially meaningful as we launch a new program focused on accompanying families whose loved ones are being detained by ICE. Through this work, MSCSS provides groceries, diapers, transportation to visit detention centers and attend court dates, and—most importantly—consistent, compassionate presence during an incredibly difficult time. In partnership with THISL, we are deepening this model, walking alongside families as they navigate complex systems with dignity and care.
At a time when many families face increasing barriers to stability and opportunity, your sponsorship is more than visibility—it is a direct investment in community resilience. Your support helps ensure MSCSS can continue offering essential resources, connection, and hope when it is needed most.
We’re raising $30,000 to sustain and grow MSCSS programs.
Attend, bid, donate, or become a sponsor—every contribution makes a difference.
