Children’s Hope India – ‘An Evening in Mumbai’
This year on 10/10/10 everyone is a Mumbaikar at heart and together we celebrate that great city by the sea which has shown a lot of courage and resilience under attack. Children’s Hope India presents An Evening in Mumbai Gala on Sunday, October 10, 2010, at the Grand Hyatt Hotel in Manhattan.
This glamorous gala celebrates the can-do spirit of Mumbai, its beauty and its hold on the world imagination. We pay tribute to its entrepreneurial spirit, its Bollywood industry and its eclectic music, dance, crafts and cuisine – but most of all to the very special people of Mumbai.
Special guests include noted filmmakers Karan Johar and Mira Nair, Dr. Indu Shahani, Sheriff of Mumbai, Suketu Mehta, author of ‘Maximum City – Bombay Lost and Found’, Hollywood screenwriter Tracey Jackson, and designer Rachel Roy.
Ambassador Prabhu Dayal and Mrs. Chandini Dayal are the chief guests. The emcee for the evening is popular television show presenter and model Nina Manuel.
Enjoy a high energy performance by the vibrant Bollywood group Wanted Ashiqz, as well as the cutting-edge fashions the city is known for. Shop for jewels and clothes, and place bids for gorgeous getaways in Chor Bazaar.
Come dressed in your latest, most glamorous togs for a night out in Mumbai and bring your friends and family for this pre-Diwali celebration. All funds raised go toward the health and education of children in India. Donation: Regular $250 pp and Preferred Seating $350 pp Proceeds to benefit Children’s Hope Education & Health Programs
