Bake sales
Our Bethesda bake sale raised over $450. Pike & Rose added over $250. We sold homemade cookies, brownies, and Phoenician bracelets.
Helping displaced families in Lebanon
We raise money and bring supplies to families in Lebanon, working with Beit el Baraka and the American Task Force on Lebanon.
We have raised $2,000+ and we are still counting.
Lights for Lebanon is a student-led fundraiser. Donations pay for food, hygiene products, and basic supplies for displaced families, and students run it from bake sales to supply drops.
Total as of 12 October 2026. The GoFundMe page counts online gifts only. The total above also includes bake sales, events, and donations we received outside GoFundMe.
