The third annual Afghan-American Conference (AAC) takes place at George Washington University on April 28-30, 2017. AAC aims to address community issues, promote civic engagement, and foster professional networking among young Afghan-American adults. The conference is equal parts professional, cultural, and personal. Many participants lauded the conference as “life-changing,” the “best weekend” of their lives, and the “most impactful event” they had ever attended. Since its inaugural year, over 600 individuals have taken part in the Conference creating a unique and dynamic community of young Afghan-Americans.
We understand that there are many obstacles to potentially attending this event and AAC does not want finances to be one of them. The cost per attendee is $120.00. To make the conference affordable for students, we have lowered the student registration fee and are fundraising to cover the remaining expenses. To make the conference more accessible, we are also committed to waiving fees for those who demonstrate a financial need.
In order to ensure AAC's success and the participation of those who have applied, our goal is to raise $10,000 in order to provide:
Fee waivers to attend the conference
Subsidized ticket prices for students
Any additional funds will go towards marketing and advertising, printed materials, speaker accommodations, food and refreshment, travel expenses and/or other possible unforeseen future expenses.
Our team has worked diligently to cut costs and secure funding for the event. AAC is charging attendees a registration fee, requesting monetary and in-kind donations from sponsors, and now asking for your support!
Here's what you can do:
Donate to this LaunchGood project
Support the fee waiver fund: sponsor a ticket for someone else to attend who is otherwise unable
Share the link LaunchGood.com/AAC and spread the word
Use the hashtag #AfgAm17 on social media
In short, AAC is being proactive about making this conference successful, but we need your help to ensure it. All donations are tax-deductible via our fiscal sponsor, Afghan Medical Professional Association of America (AMPAA), a 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization. It is our sincere hope that you consider contributing to this extraordinary cause!
