THE NEW BRAZIL TAKES OFF AT THE MET
The VIII Annual Gala Benefit was a tremendous success! "THE NEW BRAZIL" was celebrated on a high note by almost 500 people who joined at the Met in support of social projects in Brazil.
The unforgettable evening was led by Nizan Guanaes, chairman of Grupo ABC and the gala Chair, who envisioned the fundraising event, in what became a remarkable achievement for the Foundation with US$ 2.4 Million raised. Net resources generated from the gala will be used for the creation of an Endowment as well as the support of more projects in Brazil.
BrazilFoundation would like to thank all of those who contributed to the success of the event and to all of those who were present at the event. Thank you!
The BrazilFoundation VIII Annual Gala Benefit was sponsored by Itaú, Pantene, Vale, Grendene, TAM Airlines, and JHSF-Shopping Cidade Jardim, with the support of Folha de São Paulo, Rede Globo and Financial Times.
