Last Year's Gala
The CRY San Diego Gala was held on May 2 at The Green Acre and was attended by 120 guests. The evening included a cocktail hour with hors d’oeuvres, dinner, donor appreciation, pledge session, bollywood music and dancing. Legendary Bollywood Celebrity Shabana Azmi appealed to the guests to support CRY America that works with projects to make transformative changes in the lives of children. Emcee for the evening was charming Deven Parlikar. Project Partner Lalitamma spoke about her project PORD’s impact in Telangana. Nakul Duggal, Group GM, Qualcomm was the Guest Speaker who gave a clarion call to the Indian diaspora to support organizations like CRY America that give children a better future. CRY America’s Fundraising Director, Patrick Bocco shared CRY America’s impact and achievements. We extend our heartfelt thanks to our generous donors, event sponsors and media partners for their generosity towards the cause of underprivileged children. A big round of applause to our committed volunteers and staff for making this event possible for CRY’s children. Together, we can transform dreams into reality and create even more pathways to possibilities for the children we serve.
