URBANA is an annual gala fundraiser where proceeds raised support community programs with the goal of preventing homelessness in Ottawa. Each year, the event's success is proof that URBANA is helping to reach and support the most vulnerable people in our society. Until URBANA is no longer needed, we count on you - to show what community spirit can achieve when we each take a step forward together.
Last year over $20,000 was raised at URBANA. The overwhelming support from well-respected members of Ottawa's business, social care and political community demonstrated that we had captured the minds and hearts of citizens in Ottawa. Like Dharma Developments, URBANA supporters want to improve the current affordable housing conditions in Ottawa.
This year, URBANA is supporting Habitat for Humanity National Capital Region , an Ottawa-based program with the mandate of providing safe, decent, affordable homes to working low-income families in the greater Ottawa region. The staff and volunteers at Habitat NCR deserve huge recognition for the tireless and invaluable service they provide to our community.
As URBANA evolves and grows with the spirit of our community each year, we look forward to the fun and positive changes that come when people work together to improve our city's housing needs. Join us at URBANA on Thursday April 24th, 2008 at the National Archives Library of Canada. We look forward to sharing the fun of URBANA with you this year!
Sincerely,
Akash Sinha
