ZimHealth-Europe Fundraiser - 2nd October, Geneva

1. Another successful fundraising event in Geneva, Switzerland for the Zimbabwe Network for Health
On 2 October 2010 Zimbabweans in the Diaspora in Switzerland and committed supporters to the
cause came together again at the Holy Trinity Church Hall in Geneva to express their support and
display their generosity.
ZimHealth-Europe is pleased to report that
donations and purchases of the items that
were on sale and on auction during the
function raised about 2,400 Swiss francs.
Donations made towards the food, bar takings
and the sale of T-shirts raised about 3,785
Swiss francs. This gave a total of 6,185 Swiss
francs. US$ 69.29 was received in cash at the
function. A further 673 Swiss francs was
received via postal orders. Donations were
also received through PayPal to the amount of
US$ 576.18. We are aware of other pledges that are still being made and coming in. We estimate
that the final total figure of donations for this event will be just over 10,000 Swiss francs. When we
have compiled all the donations we will issue another note for information to update you all.
ZimHealth would like to extend its gratitude to
the authorities at the Holy Trinity Church for
availing the Hall to ZimHealth at no cost as
part of the Church’s donation to the cause.
We would like to thank all those who
contributed to the success of the event in one
way or another, ranging from donating and
cooking the food, serving the food, serving the
drinks at the bar, ordering the T-shirts,
preparing the banners and the auction, and
selling the items at the sales desk on the
evening. We thank all those who donated the items that were put on the sales table and on auction.
We thank our photographers, ushers and all those who helped set up the room and also those who
helped with the cleaning and tidying up afterwards. The list is endless! Thank you all.
