From Gaza to Glasgow
About this Event
Get ready for an unforgettable afternoon of sun, smiles, and serious community spirit! Join us for a fun-filled day in the park designed to bring neighbours together through laughter, friendly competition, and homemade treats. But we aren't just playing for bragging rights, we're playing for Hala!
This event is dedicated to raising funds for Hala, an exceptional student from Gaza who dreams of becoming a robotics engineer. Hala has been accepted to the University of Glasgow, which has generously offered to waive its £192,000 tuition fees if Hala can raise £50,000 for her Confirmation of Acceptance for Studies and visa! Your donations will help Hala achieve her dreams!
What to Expect: Come ready to run, laugh, and cheer as we participate in a series of classic park games and culinary showdowns:
- Cornhole Tournament: Test your aim and strategic skills for bragging rights!
- Three-Legged Race: Find a partner and learn to walk (and stumble!) together in perfect sync.
- Water Balloon Toss: Stay cool under pressure in this fun teamwork challenge.
- Tug of War: Pull together for the ultimate test of team strength.
- Hula Hoop Contest: Who can keep the rhythm going the longest?
- "Make Your Own" Pizza Station: Build your dream pizza with fresh toppings and share it with new friends.
- Community Baking Competition: Showcase your sweetest creations! Bring a baked good to enter, or come taste-test and vote for your favorite.
