- **Event Description**: Join us for a special afternoon celebrating 10 years of empowering children and transforming lives.

Since 2016, International Child Advancement (ICA) has helped orphaned and underserved children access education, nutritious meals, safe housing, mentorship, and pathways to self-sufficiency. What began as a simple belief—that every child deserves the opportunity to thrive—has grown into a movement impacting lives across the Democratic Republic of Congo and Buffalo, New York.

At this one-of-a-kind anniversary gathering, you'll experience 10 powerful stories from 10 years of impact. Hear directly from sponsored students, orphanage leadership, volunteers, donors, and community partners whose lives have been forever connected through ICA's mission.

More than an afternoon tea, this is an opportunity to celebrate resilience, hope, and the collective impact that happens when people choose to invest in a child's future.

Your experience includes:

☕ Curated tea tastings hosted by Cup of CommuniTea

? Inspiring stories and reflections from those who have witnessed ICA's impact firsthand

? Live poetry performance by Ekaete Bailey, Founder & Managing Director of Butterfly Chief Films LLC

? Meaningful conversations with supporters, volunteers, sponsors, and community leaders

? Raffle baskets featuring products, experiences, and gifts from local businesses

? A beautifully curated tea service featuring tea sandwiches, fresh fruit, and desserts

? Cash bar available, with a portion of proceeds supporting ICA programs

Whether you've walked alongside ICA for years or are learning about our work for the first time, we invite you to be part of this meaningful milestone and help shape the next chapter of our story.

? Dress Code: Cocktail attire encouraged. Fascinators and festive hats are welcome.

Seats are intentionally limited to create an intimate experience.

Reserve your seat today and join us for an afternoon of stories, connection, and impact.
