As you all know, a devastating earthquake hit Chile on the 27th of February, 2010. This catastrophe has left a rising death toll of 800 and has left millions homeless without food or water.
Instead of feeling helpless from so far away, we have decided to help in the only way we know how and that is to hold a fundraising event to help those going through this tragedy.
Entertainment includes:
CHILEAN CUECA DANCERS
DANILO from "DAME REGGAETON"
BOLIVIA MARKA
CICLON LATINO
DJ RICHIE
LA PAREJA ARGENTINA
LA LUNA RESIDENT DJ "EL TORO"
"LATIN AMERICAN MUSIC ENSEMBLE" with GENARO, PAUL AND MARIO
THA PROJECT,UNKNOWN and SAPITO LOCO
BLIND SIGHT
Chilean foods, such as empanadas, completos, churrascos and Chilean sweets.
AND.....there will be raffle tickets on the night for great prizes.
100% of the proceeds made on the night will be deposited into a Westpac bank account that has been set up for the earthquake victims.
To donate:
(WESTPAC ACCOUNT: BSB :03 2016 ACCOUNT NUMBER: 404022 NAME OF ACCOUNT: "Earthquake Chile")
