Founded by Jyoti and Anil Sanwalka, and surrounded by a team of enthusiastic directors, Emajjin Children's Foundation hosts a gala every fall to raise funds for a registered Canadian charity that helps disadvantaged or disabled children.
The Pink Tie Affair was their sixth gala, and what a successful night November 3rd, 2019 was! With entertainment, both silent and live auctions, and plenty of raffle prizes, the evening was a resounding success! An incredible $40,000 was donated to Dekpor School Development Organisation!
The funds will be used for child-centred initiatives, so stay tuned to Our Projects page to see just how many wonderful things we are able to do!
A heartfelt thank you to: Jyoti, Anil, Aruna, Dan, Gary, Peter, Melissa, Divya, Ruby, Ruth, and Kevin for their time, energy, and commitment to helping others.
What a wonderful team of philanthropists!
