A fundraising dinner March 16 will support international refugee relief and local resettlement efforts, including the sponsorship of a Syrian family by members of the Windsor Law faculty.

The UWindsor chapter of the Windsor Welcomes Refugees presents the “Windsor Welcomes Refugees” event at La Zingara Pizzeria and Trattoria, 769 Erie Street East. It will include a full Italian dinner, speakers, silent auction and live entertainment.

The proceeds of the dinner will go to the Multicultural Council of Windsor and Essex County and the United Nations High Commission for Refugees. The silent auction will benefit the Faculty of Law’s refugee sponsorship project.

Tickets are $40 with a student rate of $30; organizers will also accept donations. Find more information about the event and how to get tickets on the Facebook event page.
