World Cup Fundraiser Scores Big

Rima Fakih, Miss USAThe GCA World Cup Fundraiser on Saturday in New York City was a huge success as more than 200 people packed Vintage Irving/Side Bar to support Global Camps Africa and watch the U.S. tie England.

Rima Fakih, Miss USA, spoke at the start of the event and stayed for the entire match.  She also donated a dinner date to the silent auction for two guests to join her at a NYC restaurant in the coming weeks.  Many thanks to Rima for her generosity.

The event raised $11,500 for Global Camps Africa, and with matching gifts from several employers, the total is expected to top $18,000--enough to fund almost one-third of the entire cost of the September camp.

Grateful thanks to GCA Board member Matt Hill, and to all of those who helped him pull off such a great event.
