NetSAP and Sahayta thank you for your contributions

NetSAP-Boston(Network of South Asian Professionals) organized a Happy Hour at Met Lounge, Tonic, a trendy bar in Allston, MA on Jan 18th to raise funds for Sahayta, an alliance partner and a non-profit organization based in India, whose mission is to provide holistic (financial, emotional and social) support to people afflicted with cancer. Over 80 people turned up on the cold night to network and start the new year by supporting a cause.

Tonic

NetSAP raised over $600 through contributions from all attendees. All the proceeds were donated to Sahayta. NetSAP-Boston and Sahayta convey their gratitude to all those who contributed at the event. These funds will be used by Sahayta to provide financial support to underprivileged cancer patients and their families. Besides sponsoring a patient's chemotherapy treatment the money will also fund the education of their children. You can view video testimonials of sponsored patients/doctors on Sahayta's website http://www.sahayta.org .

More pictures from the event will be posted on the NetSAP-Boston website. Also look forward to seeing more Happy Hours in 2007 associated with a cause or a theme. Again, we thank you for making the first happy hour successful. We look forward to seeing you at a future NETSAP event.
