Update from Corinne's program...Brava!

 Dear Friends,

Thank you for your support for the Ukraine Fundraiser. Unless you were personally at the event, I have no idea who attended or donated. I don’t have access to the names of the people who signed up to live stream the event. I just appreciate that I could let you know about the event.

The program was extraordinarily successful. As of this evening, we have raised $10,000. TOGETHER, we made this happen. Hopefully, there will be peace and rebuilding. Many millions/billions of dollars will be necessary, but whatever you gave will be used in meaningful ways. 

Thank you,

Corinne

WEST BLOOMFIELD TOWNSHIP, Mich. – Planning is underway to raise money for the people of Ukraine and to draw attention to shared experiences between Black Americans and Jewish Americans.

The event brings together two nationally renowned storytellers who jumped at the chance to work together for the first time to facilitate an important conversation.

Storyteller Rev. Robert Jones, Sr. believes that when words are combined with music, there is an important story to tell and people will hear it in important ways. Corinne Stavish is another nationally renowned storyteller, who weaves powerful historical narratives that teach and inspire.

Jones and Stavish will join together at Temple Kol Ami in West Bloomfield Township for a program called Freedom Stories.

FREEDOM STORIES: Corinne Stavish and Rev Jones will be donating all contributions directly to HIAS for Ukraine relief. Attend in person or via streaming.
