Why we fundraise

The students of the Lycee Francais de New York school created a mural to memorialize children affected by conflict and also raised money for the cause.

Children in Crisis Mural

A mural fundraiser was held by students of the Lycee Francais de New York school. They raised $11,000 in one day! The students were worried about the dire situation of the kids in Gaza with the ongoing violence, but the intent was to memorialize all children affected by conflict. They sold paper hands and flowers to be placed on the mural. They sold out and rushed to make more. It was a heartwarming success!
