THANKS FROM CASA BRAZIL. INC – ANNUAL FEIJOADA FUNDRAISER EVENT 2015

Dear Friends,

Casa Brazil Board of Directors would like to thank Don and Romana Caldwell for graciously once again opening their home to our Annual Feijoada Fundraiser Event 2015. Our Feijoada has become a tradition due to their amazing hospitality.

Casa Brazil is a non-profit organization (501 (C) 3) according to IRS rules and regulations. We assist approximately 300 children in Fortaleza, Ceara, Brazil. All proceeds from this event will help us to continue providing at least one meal for each child, every day.

The Board of Casa Brazil feels very privileged to volunteer to an organization where every dollar received goes directly to the children in need, and all this work would not be possible without your help.
Our attendees enjoyed the delicious meal prepared by our amazing and most passionate chef Patricia Ribeiro and Romana Caldwell.
