THE MISSION CONTINUES

Ongoing support of the VIP Neurorehabilitation Clinic in San Diego, CA. Events have included two long distance bicycle rides (600 and 1,000 miles respectively), two events at the Proctory Brewery in the San Diego area, and a recent Comedy Event in Coronado, CA.

Outrigger canoe paddle from Stamford, CT to Hoboken, NJ along with our partners Ke Aloha Outrigger Canoe Club (ECORA) and Task Force Hydro 1 paddlers, and with our valued sponsors Gov X, Ernst & Young Global Limited and iServe Lending LLC to commemorate the heroic acts of the 9/11 first responders and to raise awareness and financially support the Jericho Project.

With the initiative of Board Member Conrad Kress, who has been working in the region for over 20 years, $25,000 in total was quickly raised. The lion's share of the funding was generously donated by Kailua Community Church in Hawaii. The project to drill a long-term and professionally built deep water well in Sekiwunga was successfully completed, and now a large group of deserving students and children will finally get a taste of fresh, clean, safe-to-drink water.

This mission was started in 2023 as RAWN was maturing as an organization and required much needed funds and overall awareness of their mission to get a specific group of women out of Afghanistan following the withdrawal of US troops in the region. Since that initial push, RAWN has secured much needed resources to continue to fund their efforts. The requirement for funding is ongoing. Please visit the RAWN website to get more information on their fundraising efforts.
