Halloween Party Bash to Benefit The Kerry Jon Walker Fund

The Kerry Jon Walker Fund (KJWF), a non-profit organization dedicated to helping humanity and supporting those affected by poverty, presents their annual Halloween Party Bash benefit on Saturday, October 15, 7 to 11 pm, at the New North Church Ballroom, 1 Lincoln Street, Hingham. A donation of $50 is suggested for admission, all proceeds benefit KJWF’s mission to improve the quality of life of those suffering from poverty by promoting sustainable programs to improve health, education and economic opportunity for those in need.

Halloween Party Bash features an evening of fine food and spirits, entertainment, dancing and good will. Guests are welcome to attend in costume or party attire. Afro-pop dance band music is provided by award-winning musicians Kalifa and Koliba, delicious catered cuisine and an open wine and beer bar will be featured. A live auction hosted by Tony Viola features variety of bid items, including a 6-night safari trip to the Zulu Nyala Game Lodge, in Northern Kwazulu Natal, South Africa!

Enhancing the education of youth is at the heart of The Kerry Jon Walker Fund’s mission. KJWF has provided 3000 lbs. of books, maps and educational materials to village schools in Guinea, West Africa, a community that ranks amongst the poorest in the world. KJWF also purchased school uniforms for Guinea’s most deprived children. By bringing literacy and educational necessities to children across the world, KJWF provides them with hope to aspire to a better future for themselves and their communities.

KJWF provides opportunities for financially challenged urban teen students to travel abroad in charitable service. In July of 2016, KJWF sponsored students from both Snowden International High School and Madison Park High Schools in Boston to partake on its fourth mission trip to Rwanda, where they served 500 orphaned teens at the Agahozo-Shalom Youth Village. While providing service to the students in this Rwandan community, the Boston teens gained a new understanding of third world issues through the homeless children they helped. They bond with friends from across the world who had once lived alone or in child led households, and who had to survive daily in conditions that lacked necessary clean water, electricity, or a reliable source of food.

Through the support of generous donors, KJWF continues its mission to educate children in need, enhancing their potential to grow into strong world leaders and citizens.
