2018 Families of FANA of WNY

Annual Golf Classic and Dinner

Monday July 16th, 2018

Wanakah Country Club

Dear Friends of FANA:

I am proud to be working on Families of FANA of WNY’s 2018 outreach campaign. Our goal is to raise $35,000 for a private orphanage located in Bogotá, Colombia to help them build a new school for their children and their surrounding neighborhoods.  FANA (the Spanish acronym for the Foundation for the Assistance of Abandoned Children) is supported by our local network of over 400 families who have completed or are in the process of completing an adoption through FANA.

Through FANA, thousands of children have found loving, permanent homes. Many other children have received temporary care, including nutrition and shelter, clothing, medical and dental care, and schooling before returning to their birth families.

In addition to helping FANA Bogota build a school this year, we will continue to provide adoption and educational services to families who have completed or are in the process of adoption. We promote a social and cultural connection for families from Western New York, Ontario, and Pennsylvania to foster our children’s appreciation and understanding of Colombian culture.

On behalf of Families of FANA of WNY, I invite you to join us by considering a sponsorship to support this great cause.  This July, we will be hosting our annual Colombian Culture week and Golf Tournament. Enclosed you will find sponsorship offering supporting these efforts.

Thank you for taking the time to consider our request. Any donation you wish to make helps to further our work in the community.  For your convenience a contribution form is enclosed.  Please complete the form and return to us via email or you may mail it to the address below.

Your contribution helps us continue the mission of the Families of FANA of WNY and for that we are most grateful.

 

With heartfelt thanks,

2018 Golf Chairs
