14th Annual Cocktail & Auction

SalvAide’s Board of Directors and staff would like to thank all those who supported SalvAide's 14th Annual Benefit Cocktail & Auction on 27 October 2011!

Through your commitment, we were able to raise $14,000 that night. The proceeds are part of SalvAide's ongoing campaign to raise $100,000 for flood relief, rehabilitation, and reconstruction in El Salvador following a devastating storm in late October 2011.

There are far too many generous supporters to mention, so apologies to anyone we may have missed. Special thanks go out to:

Special thanks also go out to Salvadoran Ambassador Oscar Duarte, Salvadoran-Canadian Association of Ottawa-Gatineau President Laura Avalos, Bajo Lempa Support Committee member Maricarmen Guevara, and many other members of the Ottawa-Gatineau Salvadoran-Canadian community for their support.

We sincerely thank all of you for your ongoing solidarity!
