It was really nice to see you all at the event on April 9th, at Halton Multicultural Council. Even the weather was on our side it was a beautiful Spring day. The number of the visitors were more than we hoped for - We had more than 300 people joined our event and I heard some had tough time finding a parking spot. I am sorry for any inconvenience but I am so happy with the outcome.
Furthermore, we have a really great news. Thanks to your support and contribution, we successfully raised a total of 12,664.24 dollars!! ($10,139.24 in Cash + $2,525 in Cheque)
Today co-organizer of the fundraiser Ms. Shinobu Yajima visited Red Cross to hand in the donation. I am still working on the photos and video that we took of the event but I really wanted to let you know that we did it! Thank you again for your time and contribution. Together we made difference and I hope we gave the victims a little bit of HOPE.
Since we decided have a fundraiser for Japan here in Oakville, Ontario, people are pitching in. Some are offering baked goods, some are offering merchandise and other are offering to help us with the event. We are just so grateful.
Thanks to everyone's help the event is started to look like it's going to be a grate fundraiser.
