'The 5th Annual Africa Alive is almost here!

Africa Alive is an annual event which brings together the rhythm and vibrancy of Africa with fun for the whole family! This year's Africa Alive will feature WADOMA West African Dance of Madison (always a crowd favorite), Tani Diakite, Tony Castaneda, Andy Ewen, juggling, drumming, face painting, African storytelling, a live and silent auction and much more! There is a suggested donation of $10 for adults and $5 for children under 16, with 100% of the proceeds raised going directly to benefit AIDS orphans and other vulnerable children in Southern Africa. Great summer fun for a great cause!

So, bring your friends and family to join us for Africa Alive 2010!
