Peru Hope

Fund Raising for the Discover Hope Fund

The reason we rededicated this web site was to raise awareness of Hispanic Employment, both here in the United States, and in Peru. What we have found is that there is very little we can do by ourselves without some push. My first encounter personally with the Discover Hope Fund was an awareness fund raiser by one of our cleaning clients.  I think they raised about $1600 by having a meet, and greet in a private home.

What I would like to see, and work toward, is a Halloween party on October 31st, 2010. As the year goes on we will probably change the venue, or scope, but for now let’s talk about having an event.

What we would need first is a place to have the event. I had originally gotten permission for a house, but the neighbors are having an issue with that. We will need a commercial place. Maybe a resturant, or a hall.

The second thing we’ll need is a vacation package, or a first, second, and third prize for a costume contest. Again, I had thought a trip to Mexico, but think somewhere closer here to Seattle would be best. Maybe a couple of nights at the Four Seasons down town.

Next we need a liqour license, a D.J, and decorating committee. Some arranged entertainment would be good to go along with the costume contest.

The proceeds will go to the Discover Hope Fund in Peru, but the focus will be to make people aware of the organization.
