2011 Halloween Fundraiser

Halloween 2011

The early snow almost put a damper on our Halloween fundraising party but our loyal supporters came out in full force anyway, and our party turned out to be a huge success. The most important part is that we met our fundraising goal so our UP scholar gets our support for one more semester!

We would like to thank everyone who supported us in this effort, both the quiet and the more active supporters. In these times, we hope that you will never tire of sharing your blessings with the less fortunate.

Special thanks to our DJ Rene Generoso and his assistant Anthony, and to Gabe Marquez and his friends for the mini-concert!

As always, we thank our faithful supporter, Seven Seven Softwares, for always being there when we need them! We would also like to thank Leo Alquiros of Tropical Hut Catering for donating part of our food for the evening.

Many thanks to those who generously donated but could not attend the party.

Thanks to the volunteers, members and colleagues plus their families who spent time, money and effort to make this a fun fund raising event!  May you all continue to support FITG in all our future projects!

Finally, congratulations to our various contest winners, namely:

  • 50/50 winner : Ruth Rogacion (thanks for donating the other half also)
  • Candy corn guessing contest winner : Aaron Agcaoili
  • Best costume (kids) : Bash de Guzman
  • Best costume (individual) : Ray Marquez
  • Runner-up : Xenchie Tongson
