Why? This card social is a fundraiser in support of The Grandmothers to Grandmothers Campaign of the The Stephen Lewis Foundation. This campaign began in 2006 in response to the emerging crisis faced by grandmothers in Africa. Since then, more than $40 million has been raised in support of grandmothers and community-led organizations that support them across 14 countries in Africa. In the face of discrimination based on gender, age, and HIV status, they are courageous advocates for their families and communities.

Accessibility note: There are 2 sets of 3 stairs each that lead to the play area. If you cannot manage stairs, contact Elizabeth Leedham in advance and someone will meet you at the entrance so you can use the elevator and ramp.
