National Super Bowl Party to Build a School in Africa

87869178SF191_Super_Bowl_XL

Many of you already know about the Adami Tulu project to make a big dent in the global orphan crisis by constructing a new school building in a small village in Ethiopia.

We’re raising $35,000 to more than double the size of the Adami Tulu school. In August, a team will go to Ethiopia to complete the construction of the building and work with some of the kids there. And thanks to you, we’re already 30% of the way there on our fundraising goal!

So how can you help?

We’re holding a National Super Bowl Party to help raise the remaining funds for this project.

So whether you’re rooting for the Steelers or the Packers, or whether you’re just watching the Super Bowl for the commercials, you can still help change the world!

Here’s how it works.

  • You can join the party from the comfort of your couch, or from the party you always go to. There are parties cropping up all the way from Atlanta to Colfax where we’ll pause at half time and learn more about the Adami Tulu school project. And you can even host your own local Super Bowl party to support the project (you can e-mail me for details).
  • Simply pledge $1, $2 or $3 per point that your team scores. You can pledge by leaving a comment here, or posting it on the Facebook event page, or e-mailing your pledge to me.
  • Every time one of the teams score, the amount we’ve raised goes up! You can follow Facebook or Twitter to get the running total of donations throughout the game.
  • Your friends can join this National Super Bowl Party as well! Go to the Facebook event page, and you can invite your own friends to join this important cause. Or you can tweet or e-mail this post to your friends and family. Let’s make a huge impact on changing the world!

I’ll update this post with the Super Bowl parties happening across the country as I receive them. Please check back here if you’re looking for a party in your area to join!

Let’s get ready to rrrrumble!
