The Anand family wanted to once again thank everyone for coming out for the third annual Devani Charities Golf Tournament. It was a beautiful day full of sunshine and laughter, and we hope you all had as much fun as we did.
We also wanted to thank everyone that made a donation, donated items to the raffle or sponsored a part of the tournament. We raised a ton of money for the Devani Charities in India. Final count was just over $5,000 raised at the tournament, with another $5,000 added by our mom.
In Dec of 2014 our mom traveled to India, at personal expense, to once again hand deliver every dollar of the $10,000 raised. This was combined with $3,000 of funding already collected, giving us a total of $13,000. Here is how this year's funds were allocated:
Pradeep Senior's Charity @ SHEOWS - $7000
Deepak Education Charity - $0
Nitin Medical Charity @ patient prescription & surgery assistance - $2500
Varun Children's Charity @ Children's Hope - $3500
You will notice that this year we did not support the Deepak Education Charity. In an effort to obtain Canadian Charity status for tax exemption, we will need to donate part of our funds in Canada, which we are excited to do. So moving forward we will be donating majority of the education funds in Canada via a scholarship. More details to come at the 2015 tournament.
Hope to see you all on Sun, Aug 16, 2015!
