This is collective philanthropy in action! Throwback to our 100 Arab American Women Who Care Michigan event earlier this summer, where our community came together to award a $10,000 grant to A Girl Like Me.

Dr. Mohayya Khilfeh stands in her beloved Nablus, where her story began. A Nakba survivor, pediatrician and philanthropist, her life has been shaped by resilience and giving back. ❤️ Join us in honoring her at our annual gala on Sept. 20 in Chicago: bit.ly/caap-gala-26
