INAUGURAL GULUWALK GALA RAISES OVER $50,000 FOR THE CHILDREN OF NORTHERN UGANDA
A sold-out crowd of over 300 enjoyed an unforgettable evening Thursday night at the first ever GuluWalk Gala, an event staged by Athletes for Africa in support of the abandoned children of northern Uganda. Aside from helping raise awareness, the event brought in over $50,000 that will be used to support programs on the ground in the war-torn region.
Hosted by CBC Radio’s Matt Galloway and held at the spectacular Barbara Frum Atrium (CBC Building) in downtown Toronto, the Gala featured a keynote speech by former Canadian Ambassador to the United Nations Allan Rock, a performance by Juno Award-winning artist Donné Roberts, and an extensive live and silent auction.
In his speech Thursday night, Allan Rock applauded GuluWalk for its significant success over the last two years. “GuluWalk has given tens of thousands of us a way to stand up, step forward and speak out about the catastrophe in northern Uganda, with a message that’s loud and clear: protect the civilians. Save the children. Stop the war.”
