Karidat Social Services’ First “Our Lady of Karidat Fundraiser Luncheon”: A Report

We islanders are not going to let a bit of flooding get in the way of a good time.

So on the morning of Sunday September 15th when, about fifteen minutes before Karidat’s first “Our Lady of Karidat Fundraiser Luncheon” was scheduled to begin, the streets of Garapan started to overfill from rainfall accumulation of monsoon-like downpours, the banquet room at the Hyatt also began to fill up with honored guests, supporters and board members.

Bishop Ryan P. Jimenez presided at the occasion which was a celebration of Karidat’s partners, donors and work of service to some of the most in need in our community. It was a chance to recognize a few of our most faithful and selfless partners over the years (though we could not mention all of you!), and we also want to be sure to express our gratitude to all of our generous event donors. Thanks to you we were able to raise a total of $65,877.

Karidat Social Services is humbled by the support of so many generous individuals and organizations. Thank you to all who attended our very first signature fundraising event. Under the patronage of Our Lady of Karidat, we look forward to more years of charitable work and service.

Thank you for standing with us and may God bless you!
