There will be a Kidsville with fun, interactive activities primarily for the younger among us, as well as hoola hoop and poi workshops for all ages.
There will be a raffle/silent-auction of dozens and dozens of items and experiences from local theme camps, artists, organizations and businesses, many of which are best suited for your life in Black Rock City. Two tickets to Burning Man, a week's worth of coffee at the Burning Man Cafe, bicycles for the playa, and three home-made burning manish quilts, are among the many wonderful prizes.
Some local burner-owned businesses will also be vending at this benefit.

______
Who are Burners Without Borders?
(From the BWB website)
Burners Without Borders is a grassroots, volunteer-driven, community leadership organization founded by Burning Man participants, whose goal is to help unlock the creativity of local communities to solve problems that bring about meaningful change. Founded by Burners (Burning Man participants) who instinctively gathered in the Hurricane Katrina disaster zone to help those who couldn't help themselves, BWB has grown into a dynamic international, volunteer organization made possible by the generous financial support of the community and an army of highly creative volunteers.
This past year alone, Burners Without Borders welcomed over 350 volunteers from all over the world to Pisco, Peru to support earthquake reconstruction efforts there. In communities across the world, people inspired by the activities of BWB, are taking the initiative to bring creative solutions to issues they care about. Whether it's using art to save camp fires at San Francisco's Ocean Beach or mobilizing volunteers to support the victims of the Fernley, NV flood, it's BWB's innovative solutions that make a real impact.
BWB is constantly engaged in new projects and their ability to be effective depends largely on donations to buy the materials needed to get the job done.
This is where we can help. Come out on July 18th and support Burners Without Borders on July 18th and bring all your friends!"
You can check out what BWB has been up to at www.burnerswithoutborders.org and be sure and check out their Blog to read about the projects through the words of the volunteers who are on the ground making them happen.
