Awards Ceremony – Silent Auction – Keynote
All donations raised will benefit the
Toys for Tots Native American Program
and 2021 NABA-DC programming.
The primary goal for this year’s NABA-DC Virtual Holiday Party is to raise funds for the Marine Toys for Tots Native American Program. This holiday season, many families across Indian Country are struggling financially and many have been greatly impacted by the COVID-19 pandemic. Our hope is to help these families and to offer a little bit of holiday cheer for these children.
A small portion of the funds raised will also benefit NABA-DC’s 2021 annual programming. Each year, NABA-DC hosts programs and events that focus on strengthening our community and providing education on issues impacting Indian Country.
