Awesome Austin Amazes Again...
|
More than 220 supporters attended TNF Austin's 4th annual 5K run event on October 15th 2022. A total of $20,357 was raised to fund 7 ABC projects in Coimbatore and Krishnagiri districts, and provide nutritional breakfast to 283 children for a year.
The event highlights included Bldg 18 Standup comedy, Kumbakonam Coffee and an XMas tree with donor pledge card setup.
Kudos to Arun, Prithika, Sunandhitha, Diya, Priyanka, Pavithra and Sindhu from the youth group who stepped in with great enthusiasm and made a difference in their own ways. Some of the areas they brought the youth enthusiasm includes, preparing brochures/promo material, raising funds by selling fryums (a super hit amongst young runners) and lemonade, raising funds by hosting an art corner and social media promotion.
Congratulations to Annamalai who hosted a series of beginner level chess classes via his Chess for cause program and raised funds to support TNF projects.
