Maumee Council President Richard Carr is throwing a birthday party for himself. But instead of gifts, he wants to raise money for one of his favorite causes.

The fundraiser is for the Fundaninas Home for Girls in Mazatenango, Guatemala. The event starts at 6:30 p.m. June 13 at the Maumee Indoor Theatre with a presentation of the Guatemala garbage dump at 7:15 p.m. and the showing of the Oscar-winning movie, “Slumdog Millionaire” at 7:30 p.m.

Tickets are $15 per person and $25 per couple, which includes pizza, soda and the movie. The money raised will help provide mattresses, sheets and pillows for 40 abused/abandoned girls living in this impoverished country, according to the press release. For more information, call Carr at (419) 865-8021.
