Nepal benefit event May 30
Nickels For Nepal and the Gamma chapter of Kappa Kappa Iota will host a benefit pancake breakfast at Applebee's Northgate on May 30 from 7:30- 9:30 a.m.
Proceeds will help children and families in two remote villages -- Mijar and Ghorka -- severely damaged by two earthquakes.
Nickels for Nepal has supported both villages. Now the villagers have lost most of their homes and, in Ghorka, their school, a news release stated.
Tickets are $10. Buy at the door or contact Chris Hockert, 423-596-9217, or visit bit.ly/nickels4nepal.
Nickels For Nepal, a 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization, and the Gamma chapter of Kappa Kappa Iota, have been supporting children in Mijar with school supplies, teacher resource materials, scholarships and school uniforms since 2009.
