For over 24 years Focus for Ethnic Women has been serving immigrant women in Waterloo Region through innovative programs to help build a life for themselves and their families in a new country.
This year’s “Focus on Friends” fundraising event will take place at Golf’s Steakhouse on Thursday, March 8, 2012 and will include a buffet dinner, silent auction, and our popular sari silent auction! We will honour two local immigrant women who obtained considerable achievements in their professional field and demonstrate strong community volunteerism. Funds raised will be used in a number of areas including –
• enhancement and expansion of the existing programs
• development of new services
• acquisition of additional resources
Please support our fundraising event at Golf’s Steak House during International Women’s Week. Ticket price is $65 for this event for which a $35 charitable tax receipt will be issued. In addition you can help in the following ways:
• donate a silent auction item or certificate
• sponsor some participants to attend the event
• purchase a table of tickets and offer them to your staff www.few.on.ca/shoponline
• donate cash to support the organization
• donate cash for the Ari Ariaratnam Education and Training Fund
We hope we can count on your business for a donation; your support would be greatly appreciated. Donors will enjoy exposure among our 200+ guests. Tax receipts will be issued for donations and donors will be recognized in our program.
