We are pleased to invite students, staff, faculty, and community members to the 2024 Muslim Community Gala, an evening dedicated to community and charitable giving. This event, hosted by Williams College and Massachusetts College of Liberal Arts, will bring together members of our local and academic communities for a night of charity, inspiration, and meaningful connection.

As Muslims, we are called upon to uphold the principles of charity and compassion. The Prophet Muhammad (peace be upon him) said, “The believer’s shade on the Day of Resurrection will be his charity” (Al-Tirmidhi). Donating is not just an act of kindness—it is a duty and an opportunity to make a meaningful impact in the lives of those who need it most.

We encourage everyone to give generously:

• Suggested Donation:
  • $10 for students and community members
  • $20 for staff and faculty

Together, as a united community, we can make a difference and help bring hope and relief to the most vulnerable. Thank you for your support.

The PCRF is a legally-registered non-political, non-profit, 501(c)3 tax-exempt organization established in 1991 by concerned people to address the medical and humanitarian needs of Palestinian and Arab youths in the Middle East. We have provided thousands of children life-saving care based on their need, not on religion, gender, nationality or sect.

The main objective of the PCRF is to identify and treat every child in the Middle East in need of specialized surgery not available to them locally. We locate, sponsor and run international, volunteer medical missions to the Middle East, in additional to locating free medical care abroad for children who cannot be adequately treated in the Middle East. The PCRF  is the main organization regularly sending injured and sick Arab children to North and South America, the Middle East and Europe for free care that is not available to them there. Since 1991 over 1,000 children have been abroad for millions of dollars of donated care, and over 10,000 have had complex surgery by our visiting medical missions to the region. The PCRF has been awarded the top 4-star rating by Charity Navigator for fiscal management, while being able to treat more kids than any other charity in the Middle East.
