An ambitious effort to raise funds for the people of Syria, called “Project Syria LIVE,” kicks off tomorrow evening. As we reported earlier this month, it’s the brainchild of a high school student, Michal Kozlowski, who reached out to other teenagers in his community to create a volunteer group known as Relief United:

The fundraiser for refugees will take place at Kingsland Point Park in Sleepy Hollow, NY from 5:30pm — 10:00pm and will provide a fun night for the community which will include a “Battle of Bands” comprised of local bands and other talented youth from local high schools along with special guests such as “Voice” finalist, Amanda Ayala. The evening will also feature speakers and exhibits highlighting the plight of the displaced, with a special focus on teenaged refugees. Admission is $15 and can be purchased at Relief United’s online Eventbrite, reliefunited.org. Tickets at the door will cost $20. A variety of food trucks will also be onsite to ensure a fun, well fed evening. 100 percent of donations and profits will go directly to CNEWA.

You can read more about the project here.

While the high school students are running this event, all proceeds will go directly to CNEWA and projects and programs we support to help Syrian refugees. Representatives from CNEWA will be there Friday evening — and we hope you’ll join us. (If you can’t make it, visit Relief United’s web page to learn how you can donate and lend your support.)

We’ll be posting updates on social media, so be sure to visit this blog, our Facebook page and Instagram.
