East India Festival @ Grace Community Church
Tickets
Oct 26 @ 6:30 pm – 9:00 pm

East India Festival is a non-profit fundraising event hosted by Global Helps Network.

Global Helps Network is a Christian 501c3 non-profit organization with the purpose of seeing the Gospel shared among the disadvantaged. Our primary focus has been with the Untouchables of India. We are funding student scholarships to Christian Schools, Adult Literacy Programs, access to clean water and ‘start-up’ loans for micro-businesses.

The festival will feature a delicious East Indian meal, Indian music, entertainment, a photo booth with the Taj Mahal, a henna tattoo booth, gift card raffle, dessert auction, a “raise the paddle” fundraising event and LOTS OF FUN!

It is FREE to attend – but we are looking for table sponsors who can pay $400 for a table of 8. There are more sponsorship opportunities available for local businesses who are interested in supporting our mission. There will be sponsored tables without guests which opens up availability for those who want to celebrate the Indian culture with us.

This annual fundraiser supports our efforts in India all year long – so please know you will be encouraged to donate at the event.
