Why is MYGD having a Dinner? MYGD holds a dinner every single year (for the past 25) to one, educate the community on a pressing issue, and two, to help raise funds for MYGD various programs throughout the year, like halaqas, basketball tournaments, workshops, and Kids Against Hunger. There is no formal fundraising done.
What’s the Program? InshaAllah the majority of the night will be spent either eating or listening to Br Mustafa :). We’ll spend just a few minutes discussing MYGD, and a Youth Speaker will also speak before Br Mustafa.
