“We are truly blessed. The generosity of our guests is absolutely amazing. The support of the greater DC community, and the dedication of all our volunteers is what makes this event such a success,” said Neeraj Gorkhaly, the founder of Gorkhaly Foundation.

All proceeds was donated to Gorkhaly Foundation’s mission to rebuild the village of Barpak, which was at the epicenter of the 7.8 magnitude earthquake that flattened what was once a model of rural development. The funds will be dispatched immediately to provide both immediate relief to the hardest hit families and help in restoring Barpak to its former glory.
