India Community Center raises $250K |
The Milpitas, Calif.-based India Community Center held its Sevathon 2018: Run, Walk, Yoga fundraiser event with great fanfare and success. The 10th annual event, held at Arena Green East in San Jose, was attended by more than 3,500 guests, with more than $350,000 generated in sponsorships and registrations and another $250,000 raised by the roughly 85 nonprofits participating, many of them Indian American groups. The annual event actually exceeded its registration numbers from a year ago by a wide margin, an ICC news release said. The expectation is that future Sevathon events will have more mainstream nonprofit organizations participate, it added. From the Sanskrit word `Seva` meaning service, Sevathon was born as an India Community Center initiative. It welcomes any and all nonprofits with good standing to participate in the platform for marketing, fundraising, support and more.Walkers, runners, yogis and entertainers come together to fundraise and strengthen their causes and community through walking, running and doing yoga.
