Featuring a Cruise and Vacations to Africa, Mexico, Alaska, Palm Springs, Disneyland, Maui and More

TACOMA, Wash., Feb. 24, 2016 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- The Orphans Africa Eighth Annual Benefit Dinner and Auction will raise money to fund four schools in Tanzania which educate more than 700 students, including many orphans. Orphans Africa accomplishes a great deal on a small budget—less than a dollar a day per student—to achieve excellent educational quality and provide opportunity to some of the world’s poorest children.

“The volunteers at Orphans Africa work to maximize donor dollars by implementing a model that allows our schools to become self-sustaining over time. By integrating tuition-paying students with orphans, we create a framework where schools can support their own operating costs while we provide infrastructure and expertise,” says Carl Gann, OA’s President. “Our schools are high-performing, cost-effective and radically improve lives in very poor areas.”

Join us for an evening of fun and good works on March 12^th at 5:00 p.m. at the Temple Theater Ballroom in downtown Tacoma. Guests will enjoy great appetizers while bidding on a wide variety of items including jewelry, African art, wine, and crafts by local artists. Then, enjoy dinner, dessert, and the live auction with some great items up for bid, including:

• 7-day Holland America Line Cruise for Two in Alaska, Caribbean, Mexico, or Canada/New England
