Save the Date: The Shebeen's Makindu Children's Fundraiser!

The Catering Outfit's sister company, The Shebeen Pub & Braai, is hosting a fundraiser Thursday, June 25th, to benefit the Makindu Children's Foundation-- and you're invited!



The Makindu Children's Program is a 501(c)(3) non-profit based in Oregon that supports the Makindu Children's Centre in eastern Kenya. The center is a resource for children suffering from AIDS and other forms of destitution by providing them with nutrition and medical support as well as education from the primary level up through high school and vocational studies! 

The Shebeen is raising funds for Makindu as well as fundraising for owner Walter's Proper Walk in fall 2016. The Proper Walk is the largest fundraiser for the Makindu Children's Program-- every two years, teams of walkers and camels trek upwards of 150 miles in Kenya to raise money for the Center. We are so excited to support Walter in this adventure! 

The June 25th fundraiser starts at 6pm with a cocktail hour on the Shebeen's verandah, followed by a stationed dinner at 7pm, and a performance by Mighty Joshua on the patio starting at 9pm. Tickets for the entire event are $75 a person (if you'd like to just attend the Mighty Joshua performance, tickets will be sold separately at the door for $15).
