The HUG Gala Dinner Dance, which was held on Saturday May 7th, was an outstanding success with 240 people packing the beautiful Sovereign venue to capacity.
2010 volunteer, Nevine Tomaino, ably assisted by her enthusiastic family and friends put together a night which is sure to inspire much more HUGging! With delicious food and the fabulous band, Moondance, who had the huge crowd dancing the night away, the event will long be remembered by all that attended.
The eagerness of the crowd to participate in the auctioning and raffling of items, that had been so generously donated, was a staggering response. We were thrilled when it was announced that in excess of $13,000 was raised on the night - UNBELIEVABLE!
All of this money will now go directly towards the new Suubi Community Health Centre which is currently being built in Lubanda Village, Uganda. This will contribute significantly towards clinic furnishings, medical equipment, medications and the first twelve months running cost. With the generosity of people like Nevine, and all of those she inspired to attend on Saturday night, the clinic is set to become a fully function reality.
Nevine's team of supporters celebrate with Helen at the end of the night.
