On Saturday, July 23, Spring Cypress Church will host a fundraising Christmas in July Concert to support The Buckner Foundation in their work to provide 70 impoverished Peruvian orphans at the CIMA Boys Home in Lima, Peru, with Christmas presents this holiday season.
In Peru, a country slightly smaller than Alaska, there live nearly 50,000 orphan children. 17,000 of those children’s parents died of AIDS, while 66% (6.5 million) of all children in Peru live in poverty. Child labor, sexual exploitation, homelessness, and teen pregnancies are common threats to disadvantaged kids.
In support of Buckner’s annual Christmas in Peru mission trip, during which a troupe of volunteers and Buckner staff will deliver Christmas gifts and humanitarian aid to a number of orphanages in the greater Lima area this December, Christmas in July Concert will focus on raising tax-deductible monetary donations. Gifts of 70+ identical or similar toys, books, or other items will also be accepted. If donating books or sending Christmas cards, please remember that most of the children only speak Spanish.
Christmas in July Concert attendees will enjoy home baked Christmas cookies, hot cocoa, and eggnog. Confirmed so far in the musical program, are flutist Jennifer Reddick, vocalist and pianist Jennifer Grassman, classical guitarist Jason Greenberg, The Spring Cypress Church Choir, and other acoustic, Celtic, and classically inspired performances of traditional holiday carols.
