Community Seva‘s ’TREE OF LIFE’ VIRTUAL GALA

Community Seva’s “Tree of Life” Virtual Gala held on Nov 21st, 2020 was a tremendous success! We sold over 450 tickets to families across the country and delivered hundreds of meals all over the Bay Area! The event was made even better due to the fabulous video production by Vijay Raghavendiran, Girish Subramanian & Mallika Srinivasan), an emotional speech from our Founder Nathan Ganeshan, and an informative Keynote Speech by Michele Lew, the CEO of HealthTrust and enthralling entertainment from Rohith Jayaraman. Of course, none of this would have been possible without our generous Sponsors and the Grants we received!

Our volunteers began planning our Annual Fundraising Gala way back in January. Unfortunately, the pandemic hit & plans had to change & evolve into a virtual format. It was a learning experience for all of us.. but with the help of the amazing Events Team (Chitra Jayaraman, Saraswati Venkatram, Venkat Krishnamoorthi, Sangeetha Subramanyam, Shriya Shetty, Lalitha Ananth, Savita Prakash, Varsha Praveen and Varsha Venkatram), the event went off smoothly.

Our hard-working volunteers (too numerous to name, but please see the photos in the album) delivered meals all across the Bay Area from Walnut Creek to Gilroy & Palo Alto to San Jose. All the deliveries were made without a single hitch well within the time specified. The team never ceases to amaze us with their efficiency, enthusiasm and dedication to the cause.

A big shoutout to Jalsa Catering & Events .The food was unique and scrumptious. The packaging and organization was impeccable and thanks to that our volunteers had no issues during delivery. We really appreciate their professional service.

Please take a look at all the photos from the event below and follow along … In the next few weeks we will be posting video highlights from the event. So, do stay tuned!

We are still tallying the counts from our fundraising and will update you soon!
