Thank you to all who attended ICGC’s spring fundraiser and donated generously for ICGC's programs and services.
Alhamdulillah, we reached our goal of $150,000. May Allah SWT bless all of you!
Some evening highlights:
Special thanks to a beautiful setup and arrangements from the outstanding work of the seerah dinner planning team.
ICGC Board Chair Amir Izhar shared his enthusiasm to continue the vision of ICGC with a focus on the next generation of Muslim Americans.
Shakila Ahmad was recognized for her tremendous work as past ICGC Board Chair - someone who "sets the standard for what it means to be a dedicated, compassionate, selfless leader."
We heard personal narratives from:
Tina Oberjohann, a new Muslim,
who relayed how a “Know your Neighbor” event at ICGC was an integral part of her journey to Islam, and her appreciation for all the support and kindness she and her son have received since they became part of ICGC.
Imane Khayat, who shared her vision behind forming the ‘
Marriage Connection
s’ initiative as a halal platform for singles to meet and find life partners.
Shabana Ahmed, who relayed how the “
Keys to Jannah
” Sunday School classroom for special needs children was formed at ICGC 8 year ago, and has since evolved into ICGC becoming the first MUHSEN certified facility in Ohio.
Executive Director, Tammam Alwan, gave an update on the programs and services at ICGC.
Sheikh Hossam Musa inspired us to support, volunteer, and serve others at the House of Allah SWT as means to preserve our faith for generations.
Special guest, Sheikh Abdullah Waheed, motivated us to donate - with our time and our wealth - to our masjid, a legacy that will bring joy to the Prophet Muhammad (peace be up on him) on the Day of Judgment.
If you would still like to donate to support programs and services, you can do so by using the link below.
