Reflecting on my experience with clear span tents during an upscale wedding, the customizable interiors transformed the event. Seeing how effortlessly the space adapted to a specialized theme was eye-opening.
Twenty-seven tents, donated to EAA by the Supreme Committee for Delivery & Legacy, will be placed in refugee and displaced communities in Syria, Turkey and Yemen.
