CANDLELIGHT MEMORIAL REMEMBRANCE DAY
After years of staying silent on the topic of AIDS awareness, Shanghai is the second year running in the World-wide Candlelight Memorial Remembrance Day on May 19, 2007. The organizer of this historic AIDS AWARENESS AND fundraising event is Kathleen's 5 Rooftop Restaurant & Events. All net funds raised will go to benefit AIDS affected families and their children, and to promote AIDS awareness throughout the city. Beneficiaries are the Shanghai Love Club (AIDS Ward in the Shanghai Infectious Disease Hospital), and the Other Foundations (Which works with AIDS Impacted Children).
近年来,上海在对艾滋病这一话题保持了几年沉默后,在今年5月19日第二次参与世界范围的烛光纪念活动。这次具有历史意义的艾滋病募捐活动的主办者是上海赛玛餐饮有限公司(Kathleen’s5)。所有的募捐基金将直接贡献给受艾滋病感染的家庭和他们的孩子,同时也增进了全市人民对艾滋病的了解。此次活动受益方为上海市爱心俱乐部(上海市艾滋病医院)和其他基金会(针对艾滋病儿童患者)。
FUNDRAISING
Fundraising for the event will also include corporate sponsorship of the gala dinner. A number of financial contributions and donations have already been offered from some corporations and private enterprises. And finally, for individuals interested in supporting the cause (and possibly winning a prize), raffle tickets will be sold at outlets around Shanghai and their proceeds donated to the AIDS charity. Gift donations for raffle prizes from various vendors throughout the city are being dropped off daily at Kathleen's 5. Volunteers from various companies and private individuals have also generously donated their time and effort to contribute to this worthy cause.
