Gala to support student overseas project

A gala at Caesars Windsor on November 28 will raise funds for the Windsor chapter of Students Offering Support, which offers a tutoring service on campus and helps to build schools in Latin America.

The third annual Raising Roofs Gala will feature food, fun and the announcement of destination chosen for the outreach trip in summer 2015. Attendees will see a short film produced by student Sameer Jafar, documenting the overseas experience, says Marco Lot, vice-president of charity development.

“The evening will be a night to remember, with dinner, volunteer awards, raffles, music and dancing,” he says. “Your ticket includes access to the exclusive all-ages after party complete with late-night appetizers and a DJ.”

Tickets are $55 per person, available through the event Facebook page. Watch the promotional video, produced by the organization’s volunteers:
