On May 9th, 2008, Gala Events worked in collaboration with Rotary International to design a wine tasting fundraiser at the Cambodian Embassy. Rotary International is a non-profit organization that promotes development, community awareness, and fellowship, and in an effort to raise money and awareness, this event aimed to support the Halo Trust Foundation Coalition’s petition to remove landmines along the K-5 mine belt.
Handmade silk tablecloths, beautiful artwork, and luxurious silk scarves were some of the featured auction items, and overall, the event raised over $ 20,000.00. Throughout the event, guests were served traditional Cambodian delicacies and entertained by classic Cambodian dancers. Gala enhanced the elegant, Cambodian-inspired atmosphere, dressing tables in rich ivory linens topped with beautiful florals, and custom commemorative wine glasses provided the finishing touch for each of the guests.
Ultimately, I would like to thank Brendan Adams, President of Rotaract for allowing us the opportunity to work on such a significant fundraiser, as well as Ambassador Ek for a wonderful, and more importantly, successful event.
