On September 13, 2008, The International Children's Art Gallery in Pittsburgh (Garfield) and Creative TreeHouse will host a benefit for Invisible Children, a traveling documentary presentation featuring children affected by the 22 year war that has ravaged North Uganda.

Learn how the youth of the US are rallying together to bring this suffering to an end. The cost is $5 per person at the door and t-shirts from local designers will be on sale for $20 with profits going to Invisible Children.
Food will be provided by the Flavorville Café & Affogato with live acoustic performances by The Jim Dandies and The Smiling Lion. The gallery will also have the "Photographs of a Haitian Orphanage" on display by Laura Pertrilla & Eva Mueller.
