SINGLES CHARITY BALL TO HELP CURE BLINDNESS
The leading singles organizations of the Bay Area are co-sponsoring The 4th Annual Singles Charity Ball, Saturday, May 15, 2010, 8pm-Midnight, at the Westin St Francis Hotel on Union Square, California Ballroom, 335 Powell Street, San Francisco CA 94102. 100% of the donations will go directly to the Sight Project of The Seva Foundation, located in Berkeley.
Seva specializes in curing blindness by performing low-cost cataract eye surgeries in the poorer countries of the world, such as India, Nepal, Tibet, Cambodia, and East Africa. Eye surgeries in the USA typically cost thousands of dollars, but are now being performed for only $50 in the Third World, due to innovations created by Seva. More information is available at www.Seva.org.
"Last year’s Singles Charity Ball at the Westin St Francis, on April 12, 2009, raised $6,465, which enabled The Seva Foundation to restore sight to almost 130 blind people," says Rich Gosse, Chairman of The Society of Single Professionals, and organizer of the Ball. “Due to the deep recession, our charities are in crisis. People just aren’t giving enough. We are hopeful that our singles will make up for this shortfall by attending the Singles Charity Ball in large numbers. All of us are donating our time promoting and running this event, so that all of the money raised can go to charity.”
A donation of $20 is requested, which is tax-deductible to the fullest extent allowed by law. The Ball features dancing to today's hottest hits and the greatest songs of yesteryear. Adults of all ages are welcome. Everyone is encouraged to dress in their finest for this elegant soiree!
The Ball is co-sponsored by The Society of Single Professionals, Stanford Bachelors, American Laser Centers, Singles Supper Club, BayAreaSingles, Get a Love Life! Wine Socials, MatchYourKey, SF Single 40 and 50 Something Social Group, Singles2Couples, SF Bay Area Singles Meetup, Sierra Singles, HeartIQ, Mensch Link Jewish Singles, Vivanista.com, Susan Platt's Wakeup Call, Professional Singles Meetup, Loving University, EventfulDating, and other major singles organizations in the Bay Area.
