Diwali or Deepavali, the “Festival of Light,” is a joyous occasion that is celebrated by many South Asians including Hindus, Sikhs, Jains and Christians. It signifies a time of new beginnings, the victory of good over evil and cultural harmony. SAFA will be commemorating this special occasion with its Annual Diwali Gala “Light Up the Night” on Friday Oct. 15 at Fraserview Hall in Vancouver.
This fundraising gala will benefit the SAFA Youth Scholarship program and a future SAFA Family Resource Centre. The SAFA Youth Scholarship program was created to encourage South Asian students to become locally engaged in their communities by volunteering time and energy, and to reward academic excellence.
SAFA invites you to enjoy the festival of Diwali with your family and friends while raising funds to support South Asian Youth. Included in the ticket price are dinner, dancing, special guests, cultural performances of various South Asian dance forms, and more!
