Inspiring Fundraising Breakfast
Yesterday was incredible at Pearl S. Buck International. We held our second annual fundraising breakfast in the garden tent with more than 210 people in attendance. The morning was all about mission - and how our programs are making a difference. It started with cardboard testimonials featuring people whose lives have been changed by the legacy and dreams of Pearl S. Buck. I honestly had tears in my eyes when I saw the messages on the cards. We were all inspired and touched by the presentation by Saowalack. She was in our child sponsorship program in Thailand and is now a director at a top fashion design company in NYC. She told the story of how her life was changed by her amazing sponsors. We were all inspired by a new video shown at the breakfast too. (you can watch the video using the link below) Special thanks to Anexinet, Local Living, Barrie Audio Video, Open Aire Affairs, Comcast, Aaron Mitchell Photography, Crystal Rose Catering, and Video Gold Productions for your sponsorship. In total, we raised $168,000 to date plus six new child sponsors. What an inspiring event!
