Enchanted Gardens a Success Wednesday, October 29th, 2008 -- Thank you everyone for making our 2008 Fundraiser Gala "An Evening in the Enchanted Gardens" a wonderful event. More than 1,000 friends from both Mexico and the U.S. came together to celebrate and support the many programs and services that FEMAP provides to empower the people of our bi-national community by assisting them with those things that improve health, education and economic status. Most importantly, we empower them to become part of solving their own challenges by using their own creativity, energy and resources. The FEMAP Foundation supports a wide range of programs. While the initial focus of FEMAP was healthcare, this area is now one of many sectors that we consider critical to improving living conditions of people along the U.S./Mexico border.
We are still tallying the numbers, but so far more than $175,000 has been raised from Cd. Juarez and El Paso.
BRAVO! On behalf of the Friends of FEMAP International, FEMAP/SADEC in Cd. Juarez and FEMAP Foundation, we THANK our generous sponsors for helping us make our 3rd Annual FEMAP Foundation Celebration a great success! Because of their support FEMAP will continue to provide invaluable services to both sides of our border community and for that we are eternally grateful.
