BBQ Thanks!

Friends,

Thank you to all who were able to join us for the African Safari BBQ - we had a lovely afternoon of food, friends and fundraising. Special thanks goes to: Jay Lombard for hosting and cookin up a storm (mmm, italian sausages....) as well as the following organizations that donated prizes to our silent auction: Korhogo 126 (http://www.bouillabaisse126.com) an awesome West African restaurant in Brooklyn that donated a $75.00 gift certificate for their fabulous cuisine, The Museum for African Art (www.africanart.org) who donated some great books of African Art, Joe Ciccone and the Prospect Park Zoo who donated a personal tour of the zoo for 6 people (http://nyzoosandaquarium.com/ppz) and Jay Lombard and Brooklyn Industries (www.brooklynindustries.com) for a $100.00 gift card for their gear!

Also, thank you to so many generous people who weren't able to attend the BBQ but have shown so much support for this project. Your donations are so greatly appreciated and I hope to be able to post a lot of blogs on here this fall from Kenya so you can see all the good work your donations are helping to make possible.

The expedition begins October 3rd and I will be leaving NYC - after 11 long years - in mid/late september. If you're in the city, please hit me up so we can enjoy the summer sun together before I go! More Kenya prep news to follow...

Lastly, if you would still like to donate - you can always hit the shiny donate button up top to support this project.

Have a great 4th of July weekend, everybody!
