Help Iranian Students Bring Yalda Night to Life

Help Us Celebrate Shabeh Yalda at the University of Kentucky!

Dear Friends and Supporters,

The Iranian Student Association at the University of Kentucky is excited to announce our upcoming Shabeh Yalda celebration in December! Shabeh Yalda, also known as Yalda Night, is a cherished Iranian tradition that marks the longest night of the year and the victory of light over darkness. This beautiful celebration brings together friends and family to enjoy poetry, music, delicious food, and heartfelt connections.

Why We Need Your Support:

To make this event unforgettable, we are raising funds to cover the costs of:

Authentic Mediterranean Food: While there aren't any Iranian caterers in Lexington, we are dedicated to providing food that is as close as possible to the traditional dishes we enjoy during our celebrations. Expect to delight in dishes that embody the rich flavors of our culture.

An Iranian DJ: Dance the night away to the vibrant beats of an Iranian DJ, bringing the spirit of our homeland to Kentucky.

Our Goal:

We aim to raise $5,000 to ensure we can provide the best experience for everyone attending. Your generous donations will directly contribute to creating a night filled with joy, unity, and cultural pride. No amount is too small, and every bit helps us get closer to our goal.

Join Us in Celebrating Shabeh Yalda:
