Thank you for a successful Be Mine Gala

On behalf of our Chairman and board; I would like to say a special thank you, to all our guests, volunteers, performers and event, table, silent and live auction sponsors for making the Be Mine Gala a successful and a sold out event. A couple that needed no introduction; the former governor Mr. Tim Pawlenty and his wonderful wife, my friend Mrs. Mary Pawlenty honored us with their presence.

The entire evening was infused with, fabulous music, performances by RGK Studio, Angela and her Zumba dancing group, Social Dance Studio, an outstanding yo-yo performance by John Narum and magic by Dr. Raju Madhok. All this and delicious food and desserts including divine “Be Mine” truffles provided by Minnesota’s very own B.T. McElrath chocolatier. A wonderful collection of silent auction items topped off with a live auction….were a part of this fun filled evening.

Together with your support, The Priyanka Foundation will continue to fund its global Child Life efforts, by hiring and training Child Life professionals to work with terminally and chronically ill children and their families during their hospital stay and arduous treatment schedules.We could not achieve this milestone without the generosity of everyone who participated in person, kind or spirit. The countless hours of our dedicated volunteers enable this organization to make a difference in the world, one child at a time, and we appreciate their inspirational work with this successful fundraiser.We look forward to a year filled with continued dedication and global awareness for the mission of The Priyanka Foundation, to live dreams around the world.Most gratefully,Leela Rao
Founder and Global Executive Director
