A refugee is someone who has fled their own country because of a well-founded fear of persecution for reasons of political opinion, race, religion, nationality or membership in a particular social group.
An immigrant is someone who leaves one country to settle permanently in another. Reasons to immigrate include but are not limited to joining loved ones who live in the USA, education, employment/economics and persecution.
Join us for a gala fundraiser celebrating the triumphs of refugees at the Colonnade at Greensboro’s historical Revolution Mill on May 30th! This event will feature a keynote speaker, music, dancers, heavy hors d’oeuvres, beverages, and interactive displays.
