EUR 1800 raised in 2015
Dec 21, 2015
Through two AmCham events this year we have raised EUR 1800 to support charities that help promote a healthy development of Latvia's children and their rights to grow up in a family environment.
On December 2 at our Annual Christmas Reception and Charity Raffle EUR 1200 EUR were collected in benefit of our three principal charities: Latvian Foster Family Association, RMHC Latvija's Care Mobile and SOS Children's Villages in Latvia. In addition, AmCham members prepared personalized gifts for Latvian Foster Families.
During the Annual Chili Cook-Off in September over EUR 600 of proceeds were collected to suport the work of Latvian Foster Family Association, RMHC Latvija's Care Mobile and SOS Children's Villages in Latvia.
As a result many children in Latvia will be able to receive free healthcare services and family-based support.
We are greatful to all the supporters for donating goods and services to support the raffles. We are grateful to airBaltic, Albert Hotel, Art Nouveau Riga, Balans Inernational Wellness Center, Blind Dreams, Casa Nostra, CBRE, Dinamo Riga, Dunder Mifflin, Hamid Ladjevardi, Indian Raja, Laima, Latvia Tours, Mercure Riga Centre Hotel, Microsoft Latvia, R.B. Management, Radisson Blu Daugava Hotel, Radisson Blu Hotel Latvija, Santa Maria and Zoste who made this event special.
Thank you to all our members for your continued support throughout this past year and for your donations! We encourage you to donate to the charities directly or extend an in-kind support.
I look forward to promoting stronger U.S.-Latvia ties and working with AmCham members to ensure Latvia is a trusted destination for international business.
