YOUR DIL FIRST ANNUAL FALL GALA

On November 18 2005, YOUR DIL hosted its first annual Gala Fundraiser at the West Side Loft in Manhattan, which raised nearly $20,000.  Proceeds from the Gala went towards building schools at relief camps for the children displaced and rendered homeless from the devastating October 2005 earthquake that affected Northern Pakistan.  

Nearly 300 guests attended the event which honored award-winning journalist and documentary filmmaker Sharmeen
Obaid-Chinoy. Sharmeen was presented with the YOUR DIL

Leadership Award, given to a young individual who has contributed in a meaningful way to the future of Pakistan.  The evening also included a silent auction and a special performance by Columbia University's Bhangra Team.
