Southern California Chapter Holds Gala in Anaheim
On November 19, 2005, the PCRF-SC brought the Arab-American community together at the Anaheim Hilton Hotel in Anaheim, California to show our appreciation and gratitude for all the work they do on behalf of our children in Palestine and all over the Middle East. Two families were awarded for their generosity and for opening their hearts and homes to countless children. With us also were members of the medical community who have donated their services to children.

Our theme, Healing Hands offered the 600 member audience the opportunity to touch the lives of innocent children in need. Our emphasis on children was enhanced by moving performances by the International Children’s Choir, the Samar Birzeit Society, Youth Dabhek Group, as well as Aida Al-Americani’s singing tribute (Al-Jidar) to Palestinian children isolated by the separation Wall. Dr. Mark Ray of Arkansas and Steve Sosebee, President and CEO of the PCRF showed the audience first h! and the devastating effects that the Wall had on the children in urgent need of medical care. We were also honored by the presence of Emmy-Award winning actor, Tony Shalhoub who shared his experiences as an Arab-American and the importance of giving back to our community.

We witnessed a community which was humbled to give of themselves and impassioned and empowered to take our cause to their families, their friends, and to their community.
