IBEW 1245 organizing stewards attended a special Juneteenth event in Fresno, and donated raffle prizes to give away to the children.
On Monday, June 19, a group of 14 IBEW 1245 organizing stewards, accompanied by their families and friends, gathered with enthusiasm and a shared sense of purpose at a special Juneteenth event at the West Fresno Boys and Girls Club.
The event kicked off with a an engaging and informative guest speaker who talked about the rich history of Juneteenth, enlightening both the children and the attendees about its profound significance.
Following the speech, the children and volunteers enjoyed an array of food and games. In addition to the games, organizers and their families generously donated a large amount of raffle prizes, which were eagerly anticipated by the children.
This regional event was a perfect way to engage in the community. We look forward to our next event in August.
