Each year, we rely upon our dedicated supporters, like you, to help us reach our annual banquet goal. This year, to give us a boost in helping meet our overall target, we have a generous donor willing to match every gift up to $25,000. This is a special opportunity to double your impact! Do not miss your chance to increase and maximize your gift size, contributing to our continued success and impact on the American Muslim community.
