I'd like to invite all of you to come be a part of this great event which is specially made and dedicated to the victims of Typhoons Ondoy and Pepeng Victims (international names Ketsana and Palmar).
This Saturday, October 24th, at 7-10 pm, we will be holding a benefit concert featuring several Filipino-Canadian artists and entertainers at OLGC Youth Center in Surrey.
For those who are not of Filipino descent and have not heard of it yet, the Philippines was struck by two super typhoons last Sept. 16th & Oct. 9th,, respectively, leaving hundreds of casualties, hundreds of thousands now-homeless families, and affected millions of people (a quick search in the net or just in You Tube of the local names of these typhoons as given above would show you the extent of the tragedies.)
This show has been initiated by our Society through the help of our members and supporters, and all performers and helpers have come forward PRO BONO to be able to do this.
100% proceeds of the show will be sent to the Philippines through the Philippine National Red Cross and ABS-CBN Sagip-Kapamilya Foundation, 2 reputable organizations in the Philippines which we are in direct contact with.
The Society is committing full transparency to the public by announcing all collections at the event and through local newspapers.
Tickets are available at a donation of $10 per person and can be purchased at Pinoy Supermarket @ 10330 152 St.(corner of 104 &152 near Tim Hortons) or for bulk orders, you may contact me at 604-329-6698.
Please feel free to forward this email to your family and friends who might be interested. Thanks.
Please see attached poster for details.
