On Saturday, May 30th, 2015, the Tamil Cultural & Academic Society of Durham (TCASD) was proud to host its 6th Annual Lights of Hope Charity Gala at the Pickering Recreation Complex in Pickering. This year’s gala was held in support of the Centre for Addictions and Mental Health (CAMH), an organization dedicated to transforming the lives of those with various mental health conditions.
For years the establishment of a tight knit group of individuals has been the result of the various events and initiatives held by TCASD. One such event – the annual gala – is a remarkable representation of the dedication and continued hard work of its executive and youth members.
The evening featured a delicious buffet dinner, live song, dance performances, and even a lesson in the Charleston to go with the galas 1920s Gatsby theme! The organization was able to share this evening of festivities with members from various levels of government, and the community.
Most importantly, TCASD was able to share the importance of mental health awareness with members of the South Asian community and support an organization that understands the necessity of culturally competent care. A $4000 check was presented to a representative of CAMH during the evening’s program – the greatest highlight of the evening.
