There was a lovely breeze blowing, as dedicated UMF volunteers gathered to set up for an event that in a few hours would be bustling with hundreds of people from all over the tri-state area of PA, NJ, and NY. UMF officers from PA and FL attended this annual event aimed at Promoting Unity among people of Faith, Providing Educational Information on Islam and Promoting Charity. Revved with excitement, volunteers got into position at booths where games and foods and all kinds and other exciting odds and ends could be found. Kulsum Soonasra, UMF's new officer, made delicious smoothies at the Red Cross Stand, while delicious cakes were auctioned, fetching $600 alone! Children enjoyed basketball, bowling, darts, fishing, mini golf, bean bag toss, knock down the cans, coin in one, bounce houses, face-painting and henna tatooing while adults shopped stalls of Jewellery and Islamic and Asian Clothing and enjoyed the delicious food of all kinds and the famous fresh off the grill BBQ Tandoori varieties.
We would like to thank all those who attended to help raise money for this worthwhile cause. UMF runs on the decication and inspiration of our volunteers who spend countless hours planning and executing events like this one.
