Philip Hayden Foundation's (PHF) Langfang Children's Village!
We are currently planning a Dress Down Ball & Benefit to provide the remaining funds needed for our Grace Children's Village (GCV) building project! We already have 30 mu of land and half of the funds needed to complete the project. GCV will have 5 new children's homes, a clinic, a school, a gymnasium and other facilities and will be home to an additional 100 orphaned children. GCV is located approximately 50 minutes south of Beijing and construction will begin in March 2003. Once we start construction, we don't want to stop! We expect the Village to be completed in November of 2003. We want you to be a part of our First Annual Dress Down Ball & Benefit for Grace Children's Village! We are currently seeking cash donations, donations for silent auction and lucky draw giveaways, food and beverage vendors, and volunteers to make the event a blast and help us raise money at the same time!
Please contact us to find out more about our Dress Down Ball & Benefit event and how you can be involved.
