ETCIC Annual Fundraiser - Saturday, March 23
Please join us for the ETCIC Annual Iftar and Fundraiser on Saturday March 23rd, 2024 at Woodbury High School (WHS) - 2665 Woodlane Dr, Woodbury, MN 55125.
This fundraiser is critical as we are ready to start construction (see ground breaking information below) on our Expansion of ETCIC Masjid after Ramadan. The expansion will add:13,500 square feet and includes additional classrooms and a multi-purpose hall/gym. The multi-purpose hall/gym will consist of a full-size basketball court with a walking track around it and can also host dining events with approximately 600 people seated.
The design of this expansion is focused on engaging and attracting our youth to the Masjid as well as building stronger communities bonds. It is a Sadaqa Jareeya in its true sense for all those who participate, especially in this beautiful month of Ramadan.
A 3D video of the proposed expansion can be viewed at https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ve9eYlMj9Mw
The best way to participate is by attending our Fundraiser. If unable to attend, your Sadaqa Jareeya contributions can also be made:
- By Mail to: ETCIC 12585 Hudson Rd Afton MN 55001
- Online at https://www.etcic.org/fr
Please help spread the word about the ETCIC expansion and this event by sharing it with your friends and families and encouraging them to participate in this Sadaqa Jareeya.
Babysitting will be available on site. Please see flyer above for more details.
Please note that Maghreb, Ishaa and Taraweeh will only be offered at WHS and the ETCIC Masjid will be closed.
