QUMSA Ramadan Iftars
During Ramadan | Maghrib | TBD
As Salam Alaikum! The Queens University Muslim Student Association (QUMSA) is collecting donations for our 2024 QUMSA Ramadan Iftar program. QUMSAs ambition is to serve daily free iftars to the Muslim student community at Queens. This undertaking is funded entirely by community donations and sponsorships. This year, we are expecting to serve 150+ fasting students.
To make this possible, we have started a LaunchGood campaign, and would greatly appreciate any contributions you are willing to make, in order to reach our $10,000 milestone. May Allah SWT reward you all immensely for your generosity. Specific sponsorship packages are listed in detail on our campaign page, however, any contribution is greatly.
If youd like to request a specific date, please fill out the associated Google form and we will reach out to you shortly after! In the meantime, if you have any questions or concerns please feel free to contact us at [email protected]
We ask everyone in this community to kindly share this link amongst your circles and social media. This would go a long way in helping spread the reach of this initiative.
