**This event will also help raise funds for more films for the series. A percentage of the profit from beverage and food sales will be donated to the TSWY Film project allowing people who struggle in life, for whatever reason, to find a better place through the visual art of filmmaking.
If you cannot or do not want to attend but want to donate toward the TSWY film program, so we can continue making more films and giving opportunities to new and experienced hearing and Deaf professionals to have the experience to work as a team and learn from each other's culture and abilities.
All donations are greatly appreciated. Please go to www.TheStrengthWithinYou.com and donate by PayPal.
