SIKH CENTENNIAL FOUNDATION VAISAKHI GALA
April 1, 2006

 

On April 1st, 2006, the Guru Gobind Singh Children's Foundation was invited to participate in The Sikh Centennial Foundation's Annual Vaisakhi Gala (www.centennialfoundation.org). The event was organized to recognize and honour both Sikhs and non-Sikhs who have made significant contributions in the business world, their community, and the arts, while adhering to Sikh values & principles. The event was sold out and the audience was attended by professionals and students. The GGSCF's primary goal through this event was to increase awareness of the Foundation. A short video presentation about the GGSCF was made, and Ms. Parminder Batra, the chair of the Centennial Foundation, challenged the audience to sponsor 25 children by the end of the evening. The event was a huge success, and actually resulted in 65 new children being sponsored! Two individuals deserve special recognition: Dr. Birinder Singh Ahluwalia (who sponsored 5 kids) and Mr. Surjit Babra (who sponsored 25 children)! However, we are thankful to everyone who decided to sponsor a child, and we're grateful to have your support!
