EGBOK Mission Fundraiser at Tavern At The Park: August 6, 2009
EGBOK MISSION SENDS EVERYONE A BIG THANK YOU FOR THEIR SUPPORT!
EGBOK Mission would like to thank everyone who supported the second event in Chicago held at Tavern At The Park to raise money for the students of Cambodia.
With the support of over 150 people who attended the event and many others who donated online and by mail, the event raised approximately $20,000.
The event was not only a blast for everyone that attended, but it also allows EGBOK Mission to continue to work towards our mission that is dedicated to helping young adults in developing countries receive the educational and vocational training needed to work within the service industry.
Money raised at the event will support Cambodia's Hope, a charitable organization responsible for the well-being and education of the 93 students at the Palm Tree Orphanage in Phnom Penh.
We will be sure to keep everyone updated on the EGBOK Mission. We will continue to update the website at http://www.egbokmission.org/ , our Facebook Page, and Twitter.
