Fundraiser to help Guatamalans

As an advisory board member for Project C.U.R.E., I was invited to attend a fundraiser over the weekend that was sponsored by Advance Guatemala.  Advance Guatemala is a non profit organization that provides aid to the poverty stricken Guatemala.  The guest of honor at the event was the Former First Lady of Guatemala, Wendy de Berger.  The First Lady presented the needs of the impoverished Guatemalans the organization serves.  Advance Guatemala raised funds to support its health care, education, housing and social entrepreneurship projects at the event.

My wife Rose and I had the opportunity to meet the Former First Lady, and enjoyed the "Guatemalan experience" theme the event immersed us in.  The fundraiser was held at the beautiful  Montelucia Resort in Paradise Valley, Arizona.  We really enjoyed ourselves.  Take a look at some pictures from the event below.
