Foundation volunteer uses party to support echocardiogram campaign
When Foundation volunteer Raj Thavaratnasingham has a significant birthday, he celebrates in style.
A member of the Foundation's Planned Giving and Community Fundraising committees, Raj hosted a To Rouge with Love event in 2010. He enjoyed the experience so much that he decided to take it outside of his home this year to make it possible to have many more people involved.
So this year, on Feb. 19, which just so happened to be close to his 60th Birthday, he celebrated both TRWL and the milestone birthday, with family and friends gathered, while collecting donations. In all, 155 guests attended, half being family and the rest Raj's clients and friends.
To promote the cause of RVHS Cardiac Services, Dr. Ram Vijayaraghavan and Dr. Bhavanesh Makanjee each spoke and Karen Charter, Cath Lab nurse and Jolly Samuel, Charge Arrythmia Specialist were also on hand to mingle with guests. Also showing support were Foundation Board members Gord and Anne Moore, Toronto Councillor Paul Ainslie, along with Foundation committee volunteers Joanne Moffitt and Millie Tavener.
