Our first local fundraiser was a blast! On Dec 5th, the pub and conert section of Mississippi Pizza was filled almost to compacity. The Dustbowl Refugees opened the nigt and Ellen & Felons finished things off with a killer performance. (It is safe to say that every guy in the room was secretly in love with the two lead singers for Ellen & the Felons.)
The best part of the night though was the money raised for Dorcas Children's Home.
Just over $1,000 was raised in two hours from the $5 door charge, silent auction, raffles and child sponsorships!
Every bit of this money is directly going to provide for the children at the home in the next months.
We would like to thank Mississippi Pizza for the venue and The Dustbowl Refugees and Ellen & the Felons for donating their time to this cause. Check them out on Myspace if you get the chance.
And a great thank-you to everyone who came and helped support the home! We will keep you updated on the way your money is being used in the lives of these children.

How To Get Involved:
Child Sponsorship
The home's main purpose is to get kids off the street. As a result of military unrest, genocide and the HIV/AIDS epidemic, the number of orphans has grown to 2 million in this small country alone.
We are fighting to change that...
It takes .67 a day to provide all necessities for a child.
That is 20.00 a month.
With every donation, we can take another child from the slums of the city and began caring for him/her in the home.
If you would like to be apart of this work, simply...
Contact Chris West or Kami Coy.

Monthly checks will be sent to:
Dorcas Childrens Home
P.O. Box 762
Dallas, OR 97338
These then will be transferred to Dorcas Children's Home branch in Entebbe, Uganda.
All donations are tax deductible and guaranteed to go to child care.
