Lights of Hope First Annual Charity Gala

The Tamil Cultural and Academic Society held their first charity gala last month. Lights of Hope is the creation of Raveena Rajasingham and stems from her passion to give back to the community in which she lives. The gala fundraising event benefits the R.S. McLaughlin Durham Regional Cancer Centre and the Rouge Valley Health System Foundation and on this evening both were presented with a cheque for $5,000.00. It was a who's who of dignitaries that attended the event at the Ajax Convention Centre and all extended their thanks for the philanthropic work that the Tamil Cultural and Academic Society of Durham does. Guests were treated to a night of dancing, a fashion show, a wide array of silent auction items and raffle games. For more information, visit www.tamilsociety.ca. SNAP looks forward to next year's gala.
