Invisible Children and the Center for Student Involvement (CSI) are co-sponsoring the Multicultural Night, which will take place on Friday, March 30, in the Polsky Theater. The main event will start at 7 p.m. A silent auction and international tasting will take place at 6 p.m.
Susie Sympson, adviser to Invisible Children, said that the event aimed at raising funds for their sister school, Gulu Senior Secondary School.
“We guarantee that 100 percent of funds goes to our sister school,” Sympson said. “A lot of people have heard a lot of different things about Invisible Children and I think it’s important to stress that.”
Multicultural Night also aims to bring awareness to the different cultures present on campus.
“[Multicultural Night is an] attempt to bring together cultural clubs and removing the ethnocentric view present around here,” Sympson said.
The silent auction consists of donations from the bookstore and the floriculture program, among others.
The main event will feature a fashion show, dances, original poetry, bands and musicians.
Tickets are on sale at the box office. Donations are still appreciated. If you are interested in donating, contact Susie Sympson or Mindy Kinnaman .
Invisible Children will also host a free screening of their Kony 2012 video on Monday, March 26 in the Craig Auditorium (GEB 233).
