The sun was shining, laughter echoed, and the popcorn plop of ping pong balls resonated as friends and supporters gathered for a festive summer celebration. But this wasn’t just any summer party. It was Sandesha’s birthday, and in a heartwarming gesture, she and her husband Kapil turned the celebration into a fundraiser for LumenSparQ.
The atmosphere was electric with the spirit of camaraderie. Multiple ping pong tables were set up, each becoming a mini arena of friendly competition. The aroma of delicious food wafted through the air, and drinks flowed freely, all generously provided by our gracious hosts, Kapil and Sandesha, along with some of their friends.
But amidst the fun and games, the purpose of the gathering was never forgotten. My fellow board members took the opportunity to express our gratitude to everyone present. Armando, in particular, highlighted how the funds raised would significantly support the Lennox Middle School book club, a project close to our hearts.
Beyond our wildest expectations, the amount raised will provide all the readings for each student this coming school year, with the remaining funds supporting this year’s Ember Project and future SparQs and Lumenaries.
One of the most touching moments was witnessing the sea of faces, all gathered with a shared purpose: to support a cause they believed in while enjoying a beautiful summer evening. It was a testament to the power of community and the impact of collective goodwill.
We owe a debt of gratitude to Kapil and Sandesha. Their tireless efforts in setting up the event, from the preparation of the tables to ensuring everyone had a delightful feast, made the evening a resounding success. Their dedication and generosity are a testament to the spirit of LumenSparQ.
