There is no fee for the event, but donations are encouraged to support the Onondaga Nation Volunteer Fire Department (https://givebutter.com/ONVFD-benefit) which has significantly increased needs to care for the lands in the Tully Valley recently returned to the Onondaga Nation.

In order to create a safe and welcome event, we ask anyone who is feeling sick to stay home, and encourage attendees to wear N95 masks at the program, in order to protect those who are most vulnerable.

May Memorial is generously donating space for the event
