Team Dayā is going to build a school next Tuesday, May 14th at the DMS by LUMA conference in New York City.
We are excited to return as LUMA’s charity partner and to work to raise $40,000 to fund one of our future primary school construction projects in the developing world. Can’t wait until Tuesday? Read this message from LUMA Founder & CEO Terry Kawaja and join him in supporting our Let’s Raise $40K goal Tuesday.
We look forward to seeing a myriad of our supporters. Most folks know that our work building schools in some of the most impoverished places in the world would simply not be possible without the support from support from over 600+ founders, CEOs and executives across the advertising and technology ecosystem.
