First Charity Diwali Ball To Benefit Make-A-Wish Arizona
Many people think of late fall as the time for Thanksgiving, Hanukkah and Christmas. But one holiday that often gets overlooked is Diwali. The name Diwali translates into “row of lamps,” and is the biggest and brightest Indian festival. An official holiday in India, Nepal, Sri Lanka, Myanmar, Mauritius, Guyana, Trinidad & Tobago, Suriname, Malaysia, Singapore and Fiji, it is known as a “Festival of Lights” that is marked by four days of celebration. One of those days can be celebrated at the Tempe Center for the Arts, raising money for Make-A-Wish Arizona.
The inaugural Charity Diwali Ball is Saturday, Nov. 16 from 6 to 11 p.m., and is being held as a fundraiser for Make-A-Wish Arizona. The event includes live entertainment, fashion show with a DJ, a catered, three-course Indian dinner, hosted bar, art gallery and more surprises! The Tempe Center for the Arts (700 W. Rio Salado Parkway) is located on the southwest shore of the Tempe Town Lake in a beautiful, 17-acre lakeside art park.

All of the Diwali Ball’s net proceeds will benefit Make-A-Wish Arizona, which in 1980, was Make-A-Wish’s founding chapter. You can buy tickets online or get more information at the event’s website. The cost is $115 per ticket, and the dress code is black tie, formal, and South Asian Formal.
