ABOUT RAICES:
The Refugee and Immigrant Center for Education and Legal Services (RAICES) is a 501(c)(3) charity that provides free and low-cost legal services to under-served immigrant children, families and refugees. RAICES has grown to be the largest immigration legal services provider in Texas, and is unique among immigration organizations. Their advocacy and commitment to change are driven by the clients and families we serve every day as our attorneys and legal assistants provide legal advocacy and representation in an immigration system that breaks apart families and leaves millions without pathways to legal status.

This event is FREE to enter and open to ALL AGES!
Disclaimer: This is not a vending opportunity. This is purely a volunteer-run fundraiser. All baked goods are donated for sale. All sale proceeds will be donated to RAICES.

Benefit for the Philadelphia Insectarium
In August 2018, The Philadelphia Insectarium, the citadel of creepy crawlers, suffered a tremendous loss: the theft of approximately $40,000 of rare insect specimens. To help get this important local landmark back up and running for generations to come, Atlas Obscura Society Philadelphia and Tattooed Mom are holding a benefit!
This edifying and entertaining evening of education will feature drinks, an in-depth presentation by Dr. John Cambridge, a live critter viewing, and live insect display with a raffle to benefit a great space and a great cause! Come learn about the myriad of different ways that insects slurp, bite, munch, and absorb their food. You’ll be amazed by how innovative these small creatures can be!
Dr. John Cambridge will be lecturing and facilitating the insect display. Dr. Cambridge is a entomologist and the creator & CEO of the Philadelphia Insectarium and Butterfly Pavilion. His specialty is with invasive insect ecology and population monitoring techniques but he has a background in public health, vector control, and integrated pest management as well. In his spare time, he dabbles with taxidermy and a variety of other educational display techniques as well as consulting on the creation of new exhibits at other museums.
Donations will be accepted, so bring your cash!

50¢ vegan potato & onion pierogi from noon-10pm
