Michaela Fetzer Staff Writer arroll College Cirlcle K teamed up with Narrate Church to put on their second annual An Evening in Monte Carlo Gala fundraiser for CAIDSpirit on November 23 in Helena and raised $480 for the charity. "I would say the evening was a success, we not only raised money for AIDSpir- it, but awareness for the organization as well," said senior Karen Hoffman, a biology major from Lake Stevens, Wash- ington. AIDSpirit is a nonprofit based in Billings that runs a school and children's home in Uganda. “It is called AIDSpirit because many of the children there were orphaned by HIV, although they accept any children without parents,” said Hoffman. AIDSpirit assists children with a very holistic approach by helping the people survive and know basic life skills. “AIDSpirit sustainably supports those who are affected by HIV in Uganda such as providing access to clean water by cre- ating water wells, educating people about hygiene and nutrition and opening health clinics, building a shelter for orphans, and Photo courtesy of Joyce Lui teaching people how to grow their own Benedict Zepeda and Karen Hoffman play a game of cards. food,” said Joyce Lui, a fifth year ele- mentary education major from Portland, Oregon. At the event there was dancing, casino card games, drinks, raffle prizes, and more. “It was a very relaxing night that was simple, fun, and gave to an amazing char- ity,” said Maija Hadwin, a senior elemen- tary education major from Kalispell. Representatives from AIDSpirit also joined the festivities to share about their organization. “It was an amazing learning experience to hear about what Uganda is like and how AIDSpirit works to give hope and love to children who don’t have a home.” said Theresa Trinh, a senior from Hamil- ton, Montana majoring in chemistry. Circle K has supported AIDSpirit for two years now . “We are so thankful for all the sup- port for our second annual charity gala, An Evening in Monte Carlo, whether it was through participating in the event or through donations for AidSpirit,” said Lui.
