One Night in Laos
Jai Lao hosts a One Night in Laos Charity Dinner and Auction where supporters and donors from all over come to connect and enjoy an evening of Lao culture, cuisine and an opportunity to learn about our completed projects and the year's upcoming goals. In August 2009, Jai Lao launched with an intimate alfresco dinner and dancing where we shared our mission and vision to family and friends. Since then, we look forward to meet hearts from all over the world that believe in the cause of giving back to help the children's needs at this beautiful event.
Sornram Tum Boon
An intimate and private VIP Meet & Greet/Charity Dinner Concert was held at a private home where Sornram flew from Bangkok to San Francisco out of his own expense. This fundraiser event helped to raise $8,500 for our water project in northern Laos. It was such a beautiful night where our Lao and Thai sisters and brothers came together for the good of the children and their future.
Lao New Year
Lao New Year is a major highlight of the year for many Laotians across the world, and is observed and celebrated for almost the whole month of April. It's filled with cultural activities, games, water splashing, and delicious Lao food. It's great to be part of the festivities, but we love the chance to spread awareness of our cause and meet our supporters who come out to show their love. We are always looking for volunteers to help set up the fundraiser in your area!
FoodRaisers
One of our favorite ways to raise money for the cause is through FoodRaisers! Thanks to our amazing board, volunteers, and supporters, Jai Lao has been able to host countless fundraising events selling delicious Lao food to raise money for various missions and projects.
Raffle Tickets
Jai Lao Foundation holds raffle ticket drawings at many of our Charity Dinner’s, but on this occasion we offered raffle tickets for purchase to all our online supporters! Stay tuned with Jai Lao via social media for our next raffle ticket prizes to be announced!
