Lakota Children's Enrichment will hold their inaugural fundraiser on Saturday, September 13th from 4-7 PM, at Westerleigh, a private residence in Greenwich, Connecticut. Special guests include Nobel Peace Prize Laureate Jody Williams, Brandon Steiner, Jasmine Mans, Peter Balakian and Susanne Pari. The mission of the group is to empower Lakota youth and amplify their voices by providing opportunities in the arts, education, sports, leadership and mentorship.
The organization is working with a group of talented youth on the Pine Ridge Reservation in South Dakota, who are committed to their education and realizing their full potential.
The setting for the event is Westerleigh, the home of Steven and Diana Steinman that is modeled after the stately Edwardian country houses designed by British architect Sir Edwin Lutyens in early 1900s. The estate features a facade of gorgeous earth-toned antique limestone imported from abandoned Chinese villages and beautiful English gardens interspersed with several water features. The interiors by Michael Aiduss Interior Design seamlessly complement the exterior architecture.
