Build it “One Piece at a Time,” is the theme of a fund-raiser for the Rev. Canon Gideon Byamugisha’s Hope Institute and Hope University in Uganda. The event will be 4–7 p.m., Saturday, July 12, at St. Mary’s Sewanee.
Organizers hope to raise $13,000 so that the Friends of Canon Gideon Foundation Foundation (FOCAGIFO) will be able to help purchase a 14-passenger Toyota van. Guests will be encouraged to buy “one piece” of the van, ranging in price from windshield wipers to the transmission for the vehicle.
There will be live music by Bazzania, a picnic on the bluff and information about Canon Gideon’s school.
FOCAGIFO is a nonprofit organization. All donations are tax-deductible. John Roberts Toyota in Manchester is one of the sponsors of the event. Bring a lawn chair and a beverage to enjoy the evening.
