Gift of Hope 18 E-Fundraising Event (2020)
COVID-19 has prevented SAP-VN from holding our annual Gift of Hope Gala this year. However, we hope that you will still be able to support us in our 18th annual Gift of Hope Fundraising Events. Instead of a gala, we will have events which will start on “Black Friday” and continue for 1 week after. We will have online silent auctions for prizes and services as well as sponsored individual activities called “Do-Anything-To-Help-A-Thon”. We will send out links to our YouTube videos and Facebook pages for more information as the date draws near.
