SACH and SAAG Collaboration for Turkey and Syria

-
The South Asian Affinity Group (SAAG) from the Hopkinton High School, in partnership with the South Asian Circle of Hopkinton (SACH) launched a 'CHAI & SNACKS' fundraiser to benefit survivors from the aftermath of the earthquake that hit both countries on February 6, 2023. All of the proceeds were donated towards Turkish and Syrian earthquake aid. 
 
A big thank you to all community members who participated and contributed! With this campaign collaboration, we were able to raise around $500

The 'Chai and Snacks' fundraiser focuses on an integral part of the South Asian culture: Afternoon Chai. These little treats could be enjoyed with an afternoon chai while also supporting the students of Hopkinton High School who wanted to make an impact during times when help is most needed.




SACH Cares is a philanthropic wing of SACH aimed at supporting initiatives based on a variety of issues we care about. We care about our town and strive to create inclusiveness in supporting all communities within Hopkinton irrespective of race, socio-economic backgrounds, ethnicity, religion, sexual orientation or gender.
