We are excited to be part of the Light For Life Fundraising Gala this November 2024 at the Mahatma Gandhi Centre in Auckland.
This year's event marks the 5th Light For Life Fundraiser, founded by our board member Jatin Patel. The Light for Life Charitable Trust reflects his dedication to community service and fundraising excellence. Jatin's commitment to helping others shines through his various initiatives, whether he is volunteering, seeking sponsorships, or organising gala dinners.
The evening will be filled with culture, entertainment, dinner and auctions. MC’ed by TV personality Ganesh Raj. All proceeds are donated NZ charities who assist and enhance the health and wellbeing of thousands of people in Aotearoa today, we're lucky enough to say this year - this includes us!
Each year, they’ve reached ambitious goals and proudly donated to various charities. Their 2024 goal is to raise a minimum of $200,000, with proceeds shared between four charities, including the Kidney Society. 22 An estimated 500 guests will enjoy an evening of cultural entertainment, a culinary feast showcasing Indian cuisine, and the excitement of a live auction.
